I'm not sure if you mean tree or flower references in PF taken from Romantic
poetry?  I don't see anything at a glance; there's the Eliot parody in
Shade's "Sacred Tree" poem, all the Shakespeare trees at Wordsmith, and the
flowers linking to Ophelia, but nothing for Romantics.  I'll keep an eye out
though.
