This is where the terms of surrender at Yorktown took place. The flower in focus is the Yorktown Onion. It is unique to Yorktown, Virginia. "The Yorktown onion is not native to this country but came from the Old World. Our plant probably made its way to the New World, like many other plants, by accident. Legend has it that the seeds came here during the Revolutionary War mixed with crop seeds or fodder. Regardless of how it got here, it became firmly established as a wild plant in what is now York County." -https://www.yorkcounty.gov/1477/Unique-to-Yorktown
