Each Botanical Inspirations card features a thoughtful quotation that alludes to the symbolism of the flower.

From the demure violet to the noble magnolia, all flowers have stories to tell and lessons to share.
This charming gift set includes:
44 cards with quotations and flower meanings
100-page illustrated guidebook with messages of insight and inspiration
Fold-out guide to the Secret Language of Flowers
Drawstring organza pouch
