There's a certain type of flower that occurs on five different pages of the VMS.  These remind me of "propellers", but if anyone can suggest a better name for them I'll use that instead.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=878]

The usual questions:

  1. Do similar forms occur in any herbal manuscripts or other sources of botanical imagery?
  2. Is there a particular kind of flower in the botanical world that this kind of image could be a representation of?
