Default Antique Flower??

Hi All,
I believe this is a very old Wedgwood plate (1810 to 1830)
Can any one help identify the flowers shown.
They may just be imaginary but I'm hoping they are a representation of some
real flower.

I posted the picture on my web site at:

Please take a look if you have time and email me if you have any ideas.
Thanks in advance
john

It looks a bit like a Maltese Cross flower (Lychnis) but not exactly IYSWIM

To judge by the leaf I would say it is stylised chrysanthemum

Have you tried to contact Wedgwood, they have lots of information on old
patterns and probably could tell you all about it, what it is, who designed
it, and who painted it.
