f34v

[-JKP-]

I agree that the flowers do not match well to asparagus.

Flowers like the VMS 34v flowers, with a scaly calyx, roundels of "petals", and a slightly convex inner section are almost all from the aster family. I grabbed some examples, and put ones that match less well (Lavender and Asparagus, as examples) in the bottom right corner. Flowers like lavender and stachys have little "florets" that come out between the scaly sections and I don't see that in plant 34v:



The flowers are most similar to plants in the aster family but I'm hesitant to propose a composite solution unless all other possibilities have been exhausted first.

The problem with composite hypotheses is that there's no way to prove them (or to know how to apply them across a number of drawings). If one accepts the possibility of composites, then one can propose almost any plant attached to any other plant unless some very specific patterns can be found on a large enough sample to confirm it, otherwise it's a bit of a dead-end unless the text can be deciphered and is found to relate to the plants (and there's no guarantee that will happen).
