In the "garden of virtues" scene specifically, the trees represent the virtues though. If I understand correctly, the ladies represent "the virtuous woman". That's why they all look the same, without attributes.
So yeah, it is very specific scene, though not unexpected. In a way it reveals a normal side of Q13. The massive potential of water in allegory. The fact that medieval audiences were quite accustomed to rows of women representing abstract concepts.
