I wouldn't go too far north now. Here the use of the battlements ends and the spread of some plants becomes thin. For example, castor bean, to name just one. This is another reason why I don't look further north of the Alps.
There are exceptions. Classic growing areas along the Rhine and Moselle are usually a bit warmer.
I have not researched what the climate is like near Prague, for example.

I did not say the VM was written in Alsace. According to my theory, the VM was written in the Duchy of Carniola (present day Slovenia) by a Carthusian mystic from Strasbourg, who spent over 40 years as prior of Slovenian monasteries Jurklošter and Pleterje. As such, he had connection to various monasteries and intellectuals of his time, and he probably also kept connection with his family back in Strasbourg. I believe the text on the flower pages has more to do with the poetry than with the description of the plants.
