Hi everyone!
I've recently come in the possession of a painting that contains a vase with yellow flowers, and I'd like to know what kind of flowers they are.
If you have a second, please check out

kinda hard to tell from the painting (which is very lovely!!) but looks almost like tansy.
Do you mean these:
I can see some similarity, I don't think they're the same... The tansy seems to have its buds closer together than the kind on the painting...
Thank you for your swift reply though! :)
Any more/other suggestions?
Regards, Evert Meulie
PS. Click on the image to make it bigger... :)
If the painter is from the warmer climes, probably an acacia (wattle).

My first impression, too, was Acacia, Then I thought maybe Podocarpus. Now I can't decide :-)

The painting is signed with 'Latour'. This makes me believe it's either an original or a copy of a work by Henri Fantin-Latour (

Wattle
Certainly acacia. Certainly not dealbata, may be retinoides, because leaves Marcel Roche

You might be right here... It does look quite a bit like the various images of wattle I have found on the Internet. If only I'd be able to find the painting in some catalogue, then the 'mystery' would be solved quickly I'd think...

I did send before saying Mimosa, You say the painting is French........well for many years the French sent "Mimosa" to the UK as a cut flower from around February. The plant in question is Acacia dealbata "Silver Wattle" see
