I'm confused-plant material in murder victims' car


Tibbs found evidence of plant material from the greenhouse in the murder victims car. That seems to point to someone at Endicott. How did it get there? Was that a red herring?

The victim _did_ visit Endicott's greenhouse, but Tibbs later says he found multiple witnesses who saw the victim driving away from Endicott's.

Right, a bit of a red herring that still helped Tibbs figure out the timeline for the night.
