Since you like flowers  there is a "Lilium Paridis" on page 109 (sequential 117), a.k.a. "Lilium de spinis evulsum", published in the Theatrum chemicum (much expanded and modified). "Paridis Phoebi" comes from Ovid's Metamorphoses I suppose.
Again, no critical edition or translation, so I've been hunting for manuscripts of this one, found 20 so far.

In my earliest days of the Voynich MS I was intrigued about a book called 'Flores Albumasaris'.
Albumasar plays a role in the definition of paranatellonta, which may (or may not) be represented in the Voynich zodiac. And I was misled in the same way as earlier in this thread about the meaning of 'flores'.
At least it can be added to the list of 'flowery titles".

I got my "it's not really about flowers" moment when I first learned about the Liber Floridus. Which is not about flowers.

Yes, it is available online in digital form.
Flores Albumasaris

In the meantime I feel really stupid for having taken "Flores secretorum" literally

You can be sure that they are not real trees. These are connected in mysterious ways. Any idea why?
The previous (15th century) illustrator didn't add symbols above the trunks. Would the meaning be too obvious?
