Flowering Orchard Triptych
Van Gogh may have envisioned several triptychs of his paintings of orchards and flowering trees. There is, though, only one documented and sketched triptych grouping, one which Van Gogh thought of for Theo's apartment. Johanna van Gogh-Bonger displayed them in the apartment according to Van Gogh's sketch, the vertical Pink Peach Tree between the Pink Orchard and the White Orchard.

Famous quotes containing the words flowering and/or orchard:
“A book is like a man—clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
“This saying good-by on the edge of the dark
And the cold to an orchard so young in the bark
Reminds me of all that can happen to harm
An orchard away at the end of the farm....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
