A keepsake birthday card for someone born in October that features botanical illustrations of the birth month flowers, marigold and cosmos, illustrated with watercolor and ink pen. The inside is blank for you to write your own special message. Also noted on the front are the birth stone, birth flowers, and some personality characteristics. In the Language of Flowers, or Floriography, marigold flowers mean courage and creativity. Cosmos means beauty and peace. If you're not familiar with the Language of Flowers, it was a way of communication through flowers. In the Victorian era some things just weren't said so they used combinations of plants in bouquets to convey messages. The greeting card measures 5 x 7. It is printed on heavy card stock and comes with an A7 white envelope.
