    This is an English plate Godden is not good on the mark. Any idea what the plant is?

    Kinda looks like an iris of some sort, but those leaves don’t look like iris leaves. I’m not very good at plant ID. One of the transferware groups may be able to help. I know that there is one on FB if you use it.

    Big one is an orchid. Thing on the right with droopy racemes is dicentra spectabilis. There's ferns in there and a native daisy.

    Are we looking at the same plate?

    Dicentra Spectabilis (Bleeding Heart)
    I don't see this.

    This looks like strawberry

    This has something that hangs down from the flower.
    Spotted leaves that are not sleek (don't know term for orchid leaves) but saw tooth (again wrong term).
    As well as spotted backside to flower, which orchids do have - but shape appears wrong.
    And is that a large stamen?

    Maybe just a fantasy thing... a compilation of various images. I can't make out how that center piece is supported. I don't see anything that might be a stem.

    Doomed to remain a mystery.

    Thanks for looking.

    Hi Pat,
    I think OBB meant this piece is bleeding heart. z.jpg

    Yup, that's the dicentra. definitely not strawberry, we've a native creeping daisy like that. The leopard spot leaves are one of the weird orchids.

    Looks like it might have mosaic leaf disease. I'd pull it up, burn it, and start over.:(

    I think the bottom shows water, could be just a puddle, or could this be a pond plant?

    It would make sense that if some of the plants are English then the others would be as well. But that's all I've got, and sense is not necessarily an applicable notion.

    There are 50 species of English orchid, including marsh orchids.

    Ah, but this isn't an English orchid, I'd say. The plate was made at the time of the great plant collectors.

    Agree on the water, hence the ferns.
