Very large scale floral print including two floral “bouquets” across the width with half drop vertical repeat. Bouquets include cabbage roses, rose buds, hyacinths, and other large and small blooms in groupings without stems, bows, or vases, and with trailing and/or scattered blooms between major motifs. Multiple shades of red, pink, gold, purple, green, blue, medium brown. Appears to have a large number of colors, but selvage markings do not indicate greater than ten screens.
