Onion Fleur-de-lys
Quote:Onion Fleur-de-lys hath long narrow blades or leaves, crested, chamfered, or streaked on the back side as it were welted; below somewhat round, opening itself toward the top, yet remaining as it were half round, whereby it resembleth an hollow trough or gutter. In the bottom of the hollowness it tendeth to whiteness; and among these teams do rise up a stalk of a cubit high; at the top whereof groweth a fair blue flower, not differing in shape from the common Fleur-de-lys: the which being past, there come in the place thereof long thick cods or seed-vessels, wherein is contained yellowish seed of the bigness of a tare or fitch. The root is round like an onion, covered over with certain brown skins or films. Of this kind there are some five or six varieties, caused by the various colours of the flowers.
