That's a beautiful shape  :clap:  and I love the curling of the tendrils/petals, gorgeous.
They look like sunflowers with very small centres to me  :-\

Sigh...... beautiful, Tommy!

If there are small cross shapes inside the flower centres they're passion flowers, if not they're more likely to be clematis.

Lovely. I think my guess would be passion flowers.

Many thanks for sharing, Tommy. Another one to keep us amazed, fascinated and drooling...  :clap:
Plus - by any chance... Are there times you feel bored? I´d invite you to photograph my collection!  ;)

yes, thanks for sharing Tommy  -  we're all going  :mrgreen:........ I might suggest connections with Celtic Revival, the Glasgow School of Art, Macintosh, and the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau styles, with a bit of late Gothic thrown in for good measure.        Do you  mean to say you actually have room left in your house for more of these things  -  if you haven't I will gladly care for them for you ;)
