I received these wall hangings from my grandmother recently. I think she got them in Japan, but I’m not sure.
I was hoping someone might be able to tell me what language it is, and what it says. Thanks in advance if anyone has any clues!

It’s Chinese. Someone will be along shortly who can translate. The most I can make out is that the 3rd character in the second picture loks like “gold[en]”.
My guess (based upon knowledge of Japanese, not Chinese) is that they’re seasonal flowers. There are likely 2 more in the set.
My guess at the characters are:
秋 金華 = Fall, “Golden Flower” (also a flower’s name in Japanese, but the flower doesn’t look anything like that represented in the hanging)
冬珍梅淀 = Winter, some kind of plum blossom.
