I bought this Victorian flower print in Charleston, and I am going to list it on eBay, but my brain is flower-id-comatose here. They are not violets, or lilacs( the blue ones), and I am also at a loss of what the white ones are ( snow-drops, crocus)?
HELP me flower people!!???
thanks,
Gina
I would say definitely snowdrops, and given the spring nature of the picture, and that the blue flowers have five petals and a darker centre, probably an artists take on forget-me-nots, although the round leaves in the foreground are more like african violets.
ReplyDeleteGreat ! I will use that in my title, will check out some forget-me-not pictures to double-check. Thanks for coming through in a clinch !!
DeleteHey I just looked online and I do believe they are, awesome gardener-friend!
DeleteWish I could but they don't look familiar at all. The frame is absolutely gorgeous! Good luck getting an I.D.
ReplyDeleteThe frame is killer beautiful, that is why I bought it ! thanks !
DeleteWhat a charming picture! I was interested in finding out what YOU found out :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like Gary was right, so I listed with that info.Thank goodness for all you more knowledgeable gardeners!
DeleteThe white ones are snowdrops and I am pretty sure the blue are violets. Lovely painting.
ReplyDeleteHi Patty, I do not believ they are violets, they do not look like them completely.I love the print too, thanks!
Deletelooks like sweet violets and snowdrops to me, too...and, i love it! two of my favorite flowers.
ReplyDeleteHi Darcia, I don't believe they are violets, whgich are really tiny pansies, as they don't look completely like the violets sold here anyway.I thhought they were that too,butit was not quite right in my eyes.Gary thinks they are forget-me-nots, they do look like them in pics of forget-me-nots. Thanks so much for stopping by!
