Pan across a desolate landscape. Was it a war? A science experiment Gone Horribly Wrong? Divine Retribution at last for the bastardry of humanity? Who cares? All is dead. All is lost. It's the end. Or is it? Out of the dust there sprouts a plant. It could be just a shoot with a few little leaves, or perhaps a single, tremulous flower. A tree that seemed dead may have shoots on it, or flowers, or even a bit of bark stripped away to reveal a green, wick heart. Is it a Hope Spot? Or does it mean that the Darkest Hour is over? Who cares? Maybe the heroes have earned their happy ending after all. And that's what's important. Often used as a way to show that Hope Springs Eternal. Compare Fisher King and Fertile Feet; this can be a Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane version of either one. See also Babies Ever After. Sometimes related to Green Aesop. |

The Overstory. When The Hoel chestnut is cut down, sprouts grow on top of it ready to become new trees, but subverted these are destined to be destroyed by the blight anyway. Later near the ending, Adam discovers a bur clinging to him while in prison, and thus isolated from all other plant life. |

Subverted in Batman Ninja. Batman and Red Hood come across the Joker and Harley Quinn working as farmers, having been restored to sanity after losing their memories. Over Red Hood's objections, Batman decides to leave them be as the couple happily celebrate the sprouting of their first flower. Turns out the flower sprouting was the hypnotic trigger for their previous evil personalities to reawaken. Knowing that Batman would Never Hurt an Innocent, the Joker and Harley hypnotised themselves as a Memory Gambit. | |

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Castle is portrayed as a Bleak Level where Ganon's Malice and Guardians have left it and the surrounding area completely barren of any living thing that isn't one of his monsters. What few plants present are the grey or brown husks of the vegetation present before the Great Calamity a century ago. The sole exception is a Silent Princess located in Princess Zelda's study. This is especially notable because NPCs, the retrievable memories, and the item description for the Silent Princess indicate that this species of flower is not just endangered, but impossible to cultivate in any controlled setting, let alone a wrecked study in the ruins of a castle ruled over by an Enemy to All Living Things. | |

In Legend of Mana, your progress in the game is indicated by an icon of a seed that sprouts and then grows into a tree; at full growth, you're able to place the Mana Tree on the map and fight the Mana Goddess, or at least her Superpowered Evil Side. Defeat her and the Sproutlings come to heal the Mana Tree. After the ending cinematic plays, you are shown that the Mana Tree is sprouting again. | |

Disney also uses this trope in Bambi II. The film starts just after the death of Bambi's mother. The "There is Life" number shows winter slowly but surely melting into spring ending with a small sprout emerging from the melting snow. At the end of the film, the sprout is shown again, larger and with a new sprout growing entwined with it. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Things are looking pretty grim for the heroes by chapter 15 — the cat tank is kaput, Sigrun's injury might be septic, poor Tuuri is still clinging to hope that her troll bite from chapter 13 doesn't turn out to be infected, and a band of vicious trolls is hot on the heels of our explorers. When Lalli and Emil are sent into a long-abandoned store to do a little shopping, Emil spots a flower growing under a pane of fallen glass. He points it out to Lalli, hoping to cheer the other up, but Lalli's fatalistic attitude isn't improving any time soon. The flower gets smushed several pages later when the pane of glass topples over, which puts a damper on Emil's mood too. | |

Fist of the North Star: The movie has Lyn carting around a flower. It gets knocked out of her hands near the end, and the last shot before the credits is a small field of flowers grown from where it got knocked down... somehow... The outros for the main series show fields of grass and mountains, implying that the world might recover one day. |

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 does this in the final episode. After the final battle, Feldt's flower drifts out of the Exia's shattered cockpit and falls towards Earth. During the epilogue, we see a massive field of similar flowers. This also ties into the imagery of the fourth and final ending theme, which shows the Gundam Meisters abandoning their ruined Gundams, complete with a badly damaged 00 covered in flowers as a young Setsuna looks on and smiles. | |

Oblivion (2013): At least one small valley within the area of the state of New York remained forested. Harper found it, and it's where he keeps his collection of scavenged memorabilia and a small cottage he built. Him trying to give Victoria a small plant (presumably from this place) and her casually throwing it away, justifying it as the plant possibly being contaminated with radiation, is another sign of Victoria's Stepford Smiler behavior. | |

The Remnants series by KA Applegate subverted this trope. The whole world is a wasteland after it was hit by an asteroid, and the characters have been travelling on a generation starship and then reach Earth. They're thinking about trying to restore Earth to its life-supporting ecology, but they also have the understandable option of just getting back on the starship where they can be supported by its technology. Then they see a flower growing somewhere. Guess what? It was a fake, placed there by a character named Yago, who, if he was outside the Moral Event Horizon before, has now fallen deeply within it. While everyone else is looking at this flower, celebrating Earth's chance for a new life, Yago makes the ship take off and leaves them stranded. | |

In Final Fantasy VII, Aerith's flower garden. The ruined church in the sector 5 slums is the only place they grow in Midgar. Probably because of her people's ability to heal the Planet after it's been seriously hurt. A short clip may be seen after the end credits "500 years later," where Red XIII is running around with two offspring and the city is wrecked, but plants are growing everywhere. This also happens at the very beginning of Advent Children. |

In the season 3 finale of The Mandalorian, Bo-katan and the other Mandalorian recon party members to the surface of Mandalore encounter a group of their kinsmen who survived The Purge and were stuck on the surface afterwards. After fleeing the Imperial Remnant base they discovered, the Survivor captain takes them to a refuge: a cave full of life surrounded by the more prevalent vitrified dead surface. He tells Bo-katan how plant species once extinct after the century-long Mandalorian civil war before the Clone War, including crop species, sprouted anew after the Purge, and the Survivors have been cultivating them for their sustenance. | |

Subverted in that this Vault is a Garden of Evil full of dangerous mutagenic plants that can infect the lungs of people who breathe the spores.

The very last shot of Princess Mononoke is a fantastic variation: a Kodama appears amid the downed trees of the forest. From the same author/director, the last shot of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is of a normal, non-corrupted sapling sprouting next to Nausicaa's forgotten flightcap at the bottom of the Sea of Corruption. Vindicating Nausicaa's hypothesis that the "corrupted" plants were actually processing the pollution of the world and rendering it harmless, and the bottom stratum of the Sea of Corruption has perfectly clean air and water. Cruelly subverted in the manga, though: It turns out that humans have adapted over time to a moderately polluted environment, and pure air and water are just as deadly as the Sea. |

One option for completing the associated quest fits the trope in a broad sense: the Oasis will continue to expand until the Wasteland is green again. | |

Not technically something growing, per se, but in Avatar: The Last Airbender, the pre-Toph Gaang visits a forest burned-down by a Fire Nation attack. Katara points out many, many acorns everywhere, and they all realize that the forest will grow back eventually. Aang later uses this to soothe the Hei Bai spirit, who turned vengeful after the loss of its forests and lashed out against the nearby villagers, unaware that it was the Fire Nation's fault. | |

Inverted at the end of Little Shop of Horrors. Seymour and Audrey get married and move to the suburbs just like they wanted. A sprout is shown growing just outside their new house... but it's a sprout of Audrey II! Depending on who you're rooting for, that could be seen as a good thing. | |

Nintendo Wars: The ending of Advance Wars: Dual Strike, where plants sprout in a nation almost completely reduced to desert by the Big Bad. Darkly subverted in Advance Wars: Days of Ruin where, after a comet that blotted out the sun and has killed all plant life, they happen upon a field of thriving flowers. They're immediately told to steer clear because said flowers are infectious and anyone under 25 who comes into contact with them will end up having said flowers grow from beneath their skin, killing them. These plants go on to be a major driving antagonistic presence in the game, being an artificial bioweapon unleashed on the world by the Big Bad to satisfy his cruel need to "experiment" on people For Science!. |

The Legend of Zelda: In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, bringing peace to a monster-infected forest will cause a single new shoot to grow at the base of the late Wise Tree. The hero bends down to examine it, and a man-sized sprout erupts from the ground and bowls him over. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Castle is portrayed as a Bleak Level where Ganon's Malice and Guardians have left it and the surrounding area completely barren of any living thing that isn't one of his monsters. What few plants present are the grey or brown husks of the vegetation present before the Great Calamity a century ago. The sole exception is a Silent Princess located in Princess Zelda's study. This is especially notable because NPCs, the retrievable memories, and the item description for the Silent Princess indicate that this species of flower is not just endangered, but impossible to cultivate in any controlled setting, let alone a wrecked study in the ruins of a castle ruled over by an Enemy to All Living Things. |

Happens a few times in World of Mana games, sans the ravaged world: In Final Fantasy Adventure, the new Mana Tree, which the world needs to survive, is shown on the "The End" screen. Used to show that, someday, mana will return to the world. In Legend of Mana, your progress in the game is indicated by an icon of a seed that sprouts and then grows into a tree; at full growth, you're able to place the Mana Tree on the map and fight the Mana Goddess, or at least her Superpowered Evil Side. Defeat her and the Sproutlings come to heal the Mana Tree. After the ending cinematic plays, you are shown that the Mana Tree is sprouting again. |

In Mass Effect, much of the krogan homeworld of Tuchanka is a ruined wasteland, reflecting the state of the krogan themselves. There are no plants to be found when Shepard visits in Mass Effect 2. When Shepard returns to Tuchanka in Mass Effect 3 to cure the krogan's sterility and revive the species, s/he comes across an elegant stone garden where plants are beginning to grow again. Shepard's companions comment that it isn't too late for life to flourish on Tuchanka once again. In one possible ending, you can see a shot of Tuchanka beginning to bloom again.note Beyond the biological, the mission on Tuchanka in ME3 is the only time in the entire series where the Krogan are shown as having been anything more than just a self-destructive Proud Warrior Race. The ancient ruins represent what they can aspire to have again (if they have a progressive leadership) or how far they have fallen (if they don't). | |

In The Lord of the Rings, the newly crowned Aragorn finds a sapling of the White Tree way up in the moutains; the line of White Trees goes back to his people's ancestral home, and ultimately to Eressëa accross the Western Sea. Their flourishing has always been connected to the prosperity of realm and kingship. The sapling is then relocated to the traditional spot in the citadel's courtyard, while its dead predecessor is laid to rest in the tomb of the kings. | |

Snow White & the Huntsman. Snow White's mother found a rose growing in the middle of a harsh winter, and prayed that she'd have a daughter with the strength and beauty of that rose. Later Queen Ravenna finds a flower growing in the desolate Dark Forrest, implied to have grown as a result of Snow White's passing. She makes a point of crushing it. | |

Edge of Darkness manages to invert the idea to chilling effect. After the hero dies of radiation poisoning, the last shot is of black flowers growing on a hillside; the chilling part is that, throughout the series, black flowers have been invoked as Gaia at work (cf. James Lovelock), and their implied purpose is to induce Global Warming in order to rid the planet of the human race. | |

WALL•E takes this concept and turns it into a MacGuffin that drives the entire plot. The eponymous trash-compacting robot finds a plant growing in the wasteland of a long-abandoned, heavily-polluted Earth. When he develops a crush on EVE, a robot probe sent to look for plant-life, WALL-E follows her to space and ends up helping a group of human survivors return to their home so they can rebuild civilization. After the humans, WALL-E and EVE have successfully returned to Earth and replanted the sprout, the final shot of the movie pans over the outskirts of the city to show hundreds of sprouts just like the one WALL-E found, ending on a wide shot of the Earth's surface showing the entire coastline is tinged with green; the Earth had already started repairing herself. The end credits take it a step further, showing humanity rebuilding the world. That sprout WALL-E found? By the end of the credits, it's grown into a gigantic tree. | |

Chrono Trigger has the characters finding a single seed in a Bad Future, which the leader of the surviving humans promises to tend. A similar situation shows up later in the game in an earlier time period. In fact, a single hopeful plant shows up in every time period (except in 1000 AD, when the planet's ecosystem is most healthy, it's a whole forest), and each has a caretaker who are clearly from the same family line. That plant and its descendants have been carefully tended since 65 million BC, in order to be around for the benefit of humankind in the dismal 24th century. "Hope sprouts eternal", indeed. |

Snowpiercer: A variation, fitting the movie being set after a devastating ice age wiped almost all life from the face of the Earth. At the end, as the camera pans over a desolate icy wasteland after the Snowpiercer is derailed, a polar bear is seen walking in the distance, implying that life still exists outside of the train. | |

Subverted in the Firestorm (DC Comics) series by John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake. Firestorm finds a single sprout growing in a war-torn wasteland, and calls it little hope. Then Shadowstorm comes along and deliberately destroys it. | |

In Fate of the World, a single icon of a sprout emerging from the soil is used on the event card for promoting Green politics in a country. It is fitting, as the most hopeful futures usually require a globally green outlook. | |

Power Rangers RPM: In his first-episode Establishing Character Moment, Dillon waters a wasteland flower, wipes out a squad of attacking Mecha-Mooks (offscreen), and drives on (making sure not to run the flower over). The series uses this trope as a bookend — after Venjix's defeat, Dillon, Summer and Tenaya venture out into the recovering landscape, and find a small field's worth of flowers. |

In the Quest for Glory games, the work of the powerful sorceress Erana is evident in various magical gardens that seem to spring up in the harshest places, whether in the middle of a swamp, a dry savannah, or a snowy mountain pass. In the fourth game, flowers magically sprung up around her staff where it was placed in the town, and a plant that was exhumed and placed in the swamp kept on living despite being submerged in a pile of evil goo. | |

The world of Portal is a pretty bleak one. Inside, you've got an insane AI trying to kill you. Outside, you've got the Combine invasion, which, judging by Half-Life 2, has led to partly drained oceans, alien lifeforms inhabiting large portions of the planet, no children for the past fifteen or twenty years, and a severely culled human population under the iron fist of alien overlords. But the end of Portal 2, taking place an unknown number of years later, shows a beautiful field of grain waving in the wind... so maybe humanity survives and triumphs after all! The Art Therapy DLC later proves that man did survive, as we can hear someone yelling at the bird once it flies away. As Chell is making her way through the ruined Enrichment Center, she finds a seed in a cup she planted on Take Your Child To Work Day (which is when all of her troubles started). It's grown into practically its own ecosystem. |

This gets very darky subverted in BoxxyQuest: The Gathering Storm. At one point, the heroes visit a barren wasteland, where they have to wear special masks to filter the toxic air. And yet they find a village where the locals are able to breathe it just fine. While there, small plants start to sprout up around Catie wherever she goes, (since she’s a remnant of Virtua), and long-dead trees begin to bloom. It seems hopeful at first, but the locals mention that it’s getting harder for them to breathe… and by the time you return from the nearby dungeon, the plants have taken over, transformed the atmosphere, and killed everyone. | |
