    Hi, lovely collection. I've recently been able to acquire 18 of these Harrison R. Crandall wildflower postcards w/ 2 images each. I'm unable to find any postcards I don't have, but I am able to find at least ONE wildflower that is not on any postcard; that of the "Chiming Bells". Do you know how many total wildflower images Crandall painted; and, have you ever seen the "Chiming Bells" image on any medium?
