Plus I would not rely on it being blue...Scallop shells are not blue!! A badly painted Lily?

It might even be a larkspur.  :) (Couldn't resist)

As Kiltpin asked earlier, can you give us any information about the Arms you have illustrated ? What are they on and are there any names attached?
To my eye they look as if they could have been drawn in the 18th or early 19th century and include the arms of Stanley (Errington of Sandhoe), Saville and, maybe, Ross. I can't get the one with the woolsacks yet ( ! )
If these are American arms (are they?) then do the "flowers" represent the means of the family's wealth ? Just a thought, although they don't seem to be the more obvious sugar, tobacco, or cotton.

More information will help, please.
