Fleur-de-lis is NOT a lily, even though the word could be French for "lily". The symbol is an iris. Accorsing to Pierre-Augustin Boissier de Sauvages in Dictionnaire Languedocien-Francois, "The old fleur-de-lis, especially the ones found in our first kings' scepters, have a lot less in common with ordinary lilies than the flowers called "flambas" in Occitan, or irises, from which the name of our own fleur-de-lis may derive." The name actually derives from "fleur-de-luce" (archaic spelling) derived from the fact that the River Luce is surrounded by "an exceptional number of irises".
By the 12th century the fleur-de-lis was a symbol of the Capetian dynasty.
Sir Robert Baden-Powell chose it as the emblem of the Boy Scouts because of it's connection with a compass rose, so persumably one that was upside down would depict a direction of "south".
AnswerThe fleur de lis is a lily..."Jesus Christ is The Lily of the Valley"...therefore (in my opinion) an inverted fleur de lis would be the same as an inverted cross.

It is found on potteries, textiles, coins, clothes, emblems, and totems from around the world.
