The Dirty History:
At some point in history a botanist was looking at what is widely considered to be the most beautiful flower in existence when he noticed that the roots sort of looked like balls.
It's unknown if he held the flower next to his crotch, pointed and laughed, but the observation stuck, and the plant was named for a ball-joke.
The term [xxx] comes from the Greek, [xxx], which means testicle. This etymology of [xxx] makes the White Stripes lyrics, "You took a white [xxx] and turned it blue" make much, more sense.
