The Maya name for Venus is U Lol Zaz Caan which means the big luminous flower in the sky. The Chinese name for Venus is Yin Sing which means the flowery star. The rosette was the symbol used for Inanna who was Venus. The fact that Venus does not now resemble a flower shows how the sky was different in the past.
I thought that Venus makes a flower shape as she journeys through space, not that she looks like a flower!
