Informative stuff:

-The Fall of Man and the Lamentation

Regarding the iris over Eve's vulva, the censorship movement was active across time and it's not uncommon to see a flower painted by a later artist to censor earlier work. Given the different palette and style on the flower I think this is a later censorship rather than one done by the original artist but this is just a guess as I haven't seen the original, which is in Vienna.
