With the lilac color _that_ blue, I suspect this painting somehow lacks the red tone. Is it possible that time can affect this color, but not others? I’m working on framing the blooms, will produce another image.

I think the small reddish blooms on the lower left background(sort of behind the roses) are lungwort, not certain from this angle though. Maybe the small blue ones above also.

7 looks like citrus blossoms and leaves. Orange tree would be my guess, but many other types of citrus are possible.

Oooh, I bet you are right. I used to have a Meyers lemon tree, and it looked much like that in bloom.
