Madonna Lily
I already wrote about the Lilium Candidum but Moti Salti has someting different to say about it on his very aesthetic blog he wrote that he believes the origins of the Hexagram and its meaning came from the lily, which King Solomon adored and chose as his symbol. The lily has white petals and a phalic rod making it hermaphroditic - and that's why it is considered a symbol of unity of male and female.
About the name of the lily see:
