Good suggestion!!! The use of floral and vegetal motif can often have talismanic symbolism in many cases, while other are toward dynastic leitmotif or any number of such applications.
I know that Jens has pursued this line of investigation for more years than I can even say, and has brought up important uses in decorative themes many times.
I think one of the most significant has been the use of the poppy, and that may be the best starting points.
