Star/Sun of Vergina

Post by Meg »

Does anyone know the name of the 8-petalled blue flower that is (sometimes) shown at the centre of the star please?

I have often felt it might be a stylized (and badly observed or artistically represented) myosotis, but I have not found any references to it.

Thanks!

From what I know there are no refernces to that. What I mean is that it is not identifyed by botanology. It is just a stylized flower.
