More of the Chinese thing [reprise]

I had a Eureka! moment on the train coming in and couldn't wait to put it to the test. As I figured, reading Pulleyblank (Outline of Classical Chinese grammar) clarified the use of polysemous particles like you2 and ruo4. Now, you all remember the second line of the second couplet, right?

ju2 can2 you2 you3 ao4 shuang1 zhi1
"Chrysanthemum Destroy Like Have/Be Haughty Frost Branch"

If I read can2 as a stative verb--"(be) crippled"--rather than an active one--which I'm fairly sure I can get away with--then the sentence falls into place:

Chrysanthemum [is] crippled; still [it] has haughty frost[-covered] branches"

The Chrysanthemum Demon is defiant even in defeat!

But since a lot of y'all seemed to enjoy filling that out, here's some more questions. These are all common plants that are called by different names than I use by at least one person I know.

They're both trees, and it's difficult to find images that give an idea of their scale while simultaneously allowing one to examine their distinctive leaves and flowers. So here are some additional images. First, an image of #3 that gives one an idea of its size:.
Now, a close-up of #9:.
