I've been doing my own version of floral torchon with Australian Wildflowers - wattle, gum leaves, boronia, sturt's desert pea - for some years. I've been using Buck's Techniques in Torchon lace to get the more flowing lines of bucks but in Torchon - using gimps and added pairs, and careful use of the worker around gimps - a gum leaf actually looks like a gum leaf - not a geometric shape as in 'normal' Torchon! It gives an added dimension to Torchon lace. The wattle pattern was in the English lace magazine some years ago.
