The Flowering Orchards is a series of paintings executed by Vincent van Gogh in Arles, spring 1888. Three triptychs resulted from this effort.

[edit] 1888

Mid-April 1888 Van Gogh resumed his work on the flowering orchards, and grouped them to triptychs. By this time it was already clear that Mauve's widow was to receive the first version of his "Flowering peach trees", a copy of which was to be the central piece of the first triptych.

These were toiles de 25

The center piece of the second was to be F.405, with 73 x 46 to be considered a Toile de 20

This wings of the third tripych were F513 and F551, both toile de 25
