Yes, I'm shouting.
The presenter of the first session I attended this morning had images from the altarpiece circa 1480, in the chapel of the Holy Trinity, donated by Elizabeth of Hapsburg... and, on the outer panels of the altarpiece, in a depiction of the Annunciation, there is...
a Dish Garden! yes, 3-4 separate plants in a low, wide bowl that appears to be made out of pottery. and...
NONE of them is a Lily as far as I can tell!
(There are very few depictions of multiple plants in a pot that I've been able to find, and when there are plants/flowers in Annunciation imagery, there is nearly always a lily-- lilies for virginity.)

I must have this image.

You understand it is an imperative!!!

And for the good gentle that said that s/he could make a copy of the pots - take a gander at these and see if any tickle your fancy:

I know, I know. If she doesn't send it to me I shall cry. Of course, the Adoration of the Magi that I posted the hat pictures from? It's the panel right next to that-- but there's no picture of the Annunciation panel in the same book!
