Another flower query I\'m afraid...

For ages I thought these were roses, but looked closer and now I'm just confused again. My mother would disown me, honestly.

It's from a lovely cotton print 40s gown which alas I have to sell on...

Thanks everyone!

Actually, that wasn't the best shot was it?

I think that is a stylised flower, where they have created a flower , not necessarily a real flower. Alot of the flowers on vintage items are stylised. I would be happy to call it an open cupped rose.

Errrrr... will think on it. But lovely buttons!

Right-o!!

Oh, why does it take me so long to write-up listings? :sigh:

I agree that it's a stylized flower. It reminds me of a peony or an old fashioned rose (not the new hybrids).

It looks like it is either an Anemone or a Peony.
