That's great for non-dynamic code, but this code is dynamic.  So how
would you reference it as not being equal to the current node?

I'm basically looking to obtain the previous type for each flower node
you're at.  Think of it like a parent-child relationship.  If the
parent of tulip is rose, I want to be able to obtain the value of
rose.
