I think we need more vintage Valentine Cherubs! So I whipped up another batch for you this morning 🙂 These are a little different, with the deeper colors, I love it! I must say I can identify rose and tulip, but what are the blue flowers??? PLEASE HELP! Please post a comment if you know (or think you know) what blue flowers are depicted.
And here are the individual cards:

Kornblomster?

Godt forslag Susanne !! 🙂
Susanne suggests Cornflowers. I think that is a very likely suggestion! I still need someone to pinpoint the last blue flower…:-P
Looks like Daliha one of my favorites
I know so little about flowers, I’m very thankful for all your suggestions 🙂 xoxoxo
Thelast blue flower is definitely an Iris in Danish, but I´m pretty sure, it´s also called an Iris in English as well, but sure someone can correct me, if I´m wrong? But it IS an iris, I´ve had loads of these in my garden and always loved the blue one here, it´s absolutely gorgeous. Thanks sooo much for these Gunvor.
Forgot to saty, that I more think the first one is a chrysanthemum, as the big flower and the leaves doesn´t look like a corn flower to me, I´m afraid.
I’ve now been looking at lots of cornflowers and chrysanthemums, and I’m still puzzled by this one….:-P The buds look like cornflowers, the big flower like chrysanthemum, but the leaves like neither…? I also think it is likely that the flower was fairly popular in 1910, as the artists often depicted the most popular styles of the time… any chance it could be carnations? They were one of the popular flowers…
Thank you Maryann, I believe you are spot on with that information 🙂 I found the English Wikipedia-article here, with lots of pretty Iris-images:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_(plant)
I also learned that the fleur-de-lis symbol, that I am very fond of, is a stylized iris! I love learning 😀 Tuuusen takk 😀
Hi Gunnvor Karita! Goodmorning to you 🙂 Thank you for these gorgeous ones. So pretty! I love them all. I think the second one is an Aster flower. Thanks so much again!
Hello Ingeborg 🙂
Aster seems to be a good suggesion too! I can find images where both the flower and the buds match. But I can’t find images with these leaves? The leaves seem familiar to me, like something from my grandmothers garden, but I’m no flower expert 😛
Hi Gunnvor Karita! The leaves are like the ones from pansies, so I think that must be them you find so familiar looking maybe? The leaves of the aster are often of this shape in a young stage or with some types I believe, but i’m not 100% sure 😀
I think you are right about the Pansies, my grandmother always had lots of those in the garden. I regret not paying better attention to her gardening! She had amazing flower beds, and all sorts of tricks to combine, fertilize and groom them! I still remember going with her to a neighbor who had a horse, to dig out 2 year old horse manure, she claimed that was the only certain fertilizer for her most fragile flowers. See: I did pick up something… however a little useless, where would I get myself some decent, 2 year old horse manure these days…lol!!
I’m a new follower and, therefore, do not know how to get the “exclusive” download. As for the second flower, maybe clematis? The fourth is definitely an iris.
Hello Arline 🙂 I do not have your email address registered as a follower. If you are following with a WordPress-account, please let me know your WordPress nick name? The easiest way may be to fill in the form on my post from January 6th.
I googled Clematis and I agree the 2nd flower could be Clematis, but again the buds don’t look the same, and I’m also not sure about the leaves… quite a puzzle this one! 🙂
Will do. Thanks!
Love all those flowers..a new follower and dont know how to download the pictures and how do i get them printed. New in this hobby…thanks.
Click on the picture you want, to go to the download folder. I’m gathering all my Valentine stuff in one folder, so it will contain the accumulated files of Valentine posts so far 🙂
From the folder click on the image you want, and it will blow up big on your screen, in a black viewer. Click the arrow in the bottom right corner of that viewer to download the file. 🙂
You can also print it directly from that viewer, if you don’t want to download it 🙂
If you decide to download it, you have to find the file on your computer. Computers are set up differently, so I can’t tell you exactly where you will find your download files, but luckily most computers store files like these by default to a folder named “Download”. If you can’t locate that folder and the file on your computer, may I suggest you ask a friend to help you look, as this is fairly basic to show, but more difficult to explain when not in front of your computer.
Computers are also set up differently on how they will let you view and print your images (my printables are usually jpg or png files = images), so I’m not going to try to guess how yours will work…:-P
I’m very sorry not to be able to explain what to do on your end, but I can only know how for certain how to make my files available to you.
Hope you can figure it out!
Love&Light
Gunnvor Karita 🙂
Could it be a dahlia?
Thank you for another good suggestion 🙂
I’ve been googling Dahlia for over an hour, and I really wish I was more of a flower expert! The flower and the leaves seem to be matching to some of the Dahlias I have seen, but then the buds look different… I am still not convinced either way…lol
