Certainly, but I think this type is present on another page of the manuscript and it looks different - more in line with the three-pronged-vegetation:

Once you really dig into this type of iconography, however, you soon realize that there was a large amount of syncreticism between (young) female goddesses and their attributes. Persephone, Venus, Isis... But the grain is mostly a Demeter/Persephone attribute, which is also where the constellation Virgo gets it from.
Thing is that blue sweater man is holding what appears to be a stylized lily or lotus, but it is much less rigid than the standard examples, like the ones mentioned by Davidsch.
