Sorry I can't and I think that is because they are just an artists idea of

It was not unusual to decorate china of this period with a plethora of
mixed
features taken from the best of a vast variety of subjects.
Quite a nice example-do you have a pair?


Do you not think it is sweet pea? The flower has the right form, the
leaves on the RHS are right, and there are tendrils visible on the L

Mixed sweet peas perhaps:-)
Are the white blobby things also sweet peas?

I think they're meant to be almost open flowers. There isn't anything
else different associated with them (different leaves for example), so I
think the whole lot are meant to be the same flower
