Music about flowers/trees

It is my turn once more to set the next pub quiz and I want to put onto a CD some music or songs that relate to flowers or trees so that I can play them and have people identify them - any genre: classical, pop, folk etc.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks

Nelliemoser, you've just made me giggle - last summer I bought my mum a tub with bedding plants in it. She asked what one was and when I said petunia both her and my dad burst into song with I'm a little petunia in an an onion patch! I'd never heard it before (or since) and they thought the look on my face was hilarious... so, thanks for the memory smile

Tie a Yellow Ribbon (hate it, but appropriate).

And Hearts of Oak.

Sorry if these have been suggested already!

A very old one - Lullaby of the Leaves. My Mum used to sing it to me when I was very young.

Every little breeze seems to whisper Louise; the birds in the trees seem to whisper Louise...

Brilliant! I am just counting up the ideas and think I may be able to hone it down to a musical round about just roses!

What about the quintessential Victorian song "Come into the garden Maud"?
My love is like a Red, Red Rose...

The songs in that link are all modern pop songs. It doesn't even have the Yellow Rose of Texas.

Here you are - I found you this.

And don't forget : "Daisy, daisy" ! You could finish the quiz with a singalong!
