I was surprised to see that you suppose all plants in the manuscript are native to Mexico, and then propose Maranta Leuconera and Calathea Makoyana, both native to the Brazilian rainforests. Also, I am looking at sunflowers in my garden right now and I can assure you their leaves look nothing like those depicted on f3v. Nor really does any other part of the plant, for that matter.
The idea that the VM might be an American codex is an old one, but as always it is based on very questionable plant identifications. This while research shows time and time again that all relevant aspects of the manuscripts can be dated to the first half of the 15th century.
