This is not typically an idea Diane would challenge the originality of, but she would certainly find it nonsense 
The label situation is complex. There are seven or eight "groups" of labels, but for each nymph there is a "word", which suggests that there are more than seven labels. Unless these are multi-word labels and they drew a nymph for each word...
Also, while it seems increasingly likely that a Jardin.de Vertus image inspired the VM folio, the situation in the VM is still different. No real trees etc. So what is going on? Did they simply draw the garden of virtues in a hidden way? Why? Or did they rather infuse "something else" with the well known garden of virtue image?
