Snowballs

[edit]

I'm very sorry, but the Category "Oil paintings of lilacs" is unfortunately wrong. The white flower at the left is not lilac, but the so called "Snowball" (= Viburnum; in German: "Schneeball"), which apparently were quite in vogue in the 17th century and have been painted more often by flowerpainters of that time. I will change the category. Best greetings,--Marie Adelaide (talk) 08:22, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
