Machester vs. Boston, trencher throwdown!

[ppfuf]

In the last few weeks, I've stopped obsessing about the little rhymes on the trenchers, and started obsessing on flower identification. Looking at the pictures rather than the words, had at least one interesting side effect: I noticed the some members of the set at the Manchester Art Gallery (Fruit Trencher, Accession Number: 1922.836/12) have non-circular centers, just like some at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. This one is a sister to the trencher on the bottom right of the Manchester set.

If anyone can identify the flower in this userpic, I'd be very grateful.

Actualy, I need to get a hold of some people who do elizabethian embroidery and pick thier brains. I saw a lot of similar/identical flowers in needlework.
