What is often called "hand-tinted" was more likely done with stencils in a semi-automatic process called the Pathécolor process, which was originally developed for postcards and wallpaper. The example Ann shows was likely just a one-color wash on the blooms. The process could be repeated with multiple colors and eventually was used to create color slides and movies long before the invention of true color film.
