Where we gettin' this name from? It's not the real life name of the piece, and I don't recall it from the script, so where's it from?

- You're pretty quick. Well I had to call it something. Check out Wikipedia:Sun Flowers (Van Gogh Series). The initial versions. Picture three. Original version of this painting. They call it "Sunflowers, third version." Good enough for the title for me. --SOTO ☎ 16:25, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
- Unless you'd rather it be called something long and confusing like "Painting with sunflowers," or, even worse, "Painting with sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh." I think the current title is most suitable... – The preceding unsigned comment was added by SmallerOnTheOutside (talk • contribs) .
- The writing next to the painting in the gallery is a bit too small to read, but it's clearly one word. Knowing that it's Sunflowers, in looks conceivable in the pic. Do you want me to upload the picture to here, so you can see? --SOTO ☎ 16:32, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍ 17:34: Sun 17 Feb 2013- Well I'm certain that, in universe, it's name has only one word. Speculation, but obviously that one word has to be either "Sunflower" or "Sunflowers," the latter making the most sense, as there are twelve sunflowers in the painting. I mean, what else would he call it? "Vase?" But, I suppose, speculation...

Bringing this back all the way to the left. Counted. Twelve flowers. And in all the same places (and same shapes) as Vase with Twelve Sunflowers. Also the closest on the site to the in-universe painting. I therefore suggest we name this page "Vase with Twelve Sunflowers." --SOTO ☎ 17:57, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
