    Does anyone recognize the flowers in this vintage print? The one at the top looks like a tulip, but I have no idea about the others.

    Hey, Pat -
    Maybe a spider chrysanthemum for the red one in the front?

    That was my first thought too. Hard to say what the others might be with no obvious foliage or a view of the interiors. The might be more tulips - the red one with the ragged edge - a parrot tulip?

    I kinda messed with it - just to see if I could get the flowers to *pop*.
    Thought it might make them easier to ID.
    Maybe not.

    Guesses only
    Chrysanthemum for the one at front
    Crinkly edge one to right, red carnation
    Yellow and maroon ones to middle; petunias
    Yellow one to left: yellow carnation
    Tall red one: tulip

    Thanks, all! :)

    Spider carnation is a new one on me. It does look like it, and the ones on the far right and left do look like standard carnations. Not sure about the others other than the tulip at the top so probably won't say anything about them.

    Messi... I only wish the print were that bright! I listed it last night and referred to its appearance as "a moody early mid-century look." Without knowing the painter or the date of the original painting, not a whole lot I could think to say. :rolleyes:

    At least now I can add in carnations!

    Poppy instead of tulip?

    Bev, which flower are you referring to?

    I think that spider one is a dahlia. It's got the sort of proper curled petal look. The back one is closest to a poppy, given what seems to be the time period - all summer blooms. Agree on the carnation IDs but the middle two aren't petunias - I suspect ranunculus.
