Cover is hot pink, and shows a butterfly alighting on a hot pink Hibiscus flower.
Open the card and a 3-D hot pink Hibiscus bursts into bloom, with golden stamens and soft green leaves.
The Hot Pink Hibiscus is summer incarnate.
With its riotous tropical colors, sensuous curves and lingering sweet smell, the Hot Pink Hibiscus is summer incarnate.
It’s made into tea in West Africa, offered to Kali by Hindus in Bengal, and worn behind the right ear of Hawaiian na wahine looking for love. Intricate assembly and a sprinkling of Lilly Pulitzer joy brings the gift of an endless summer to someone special in your life.
Women who wear the flower behind the right ear are single, wearing a Hibiscus behind the left ear represents a woman who is romantically attached. (*Note: if she wears a Hibiscus behind both ears, the woman is taken but prefers another lover.)
A card for a woman you love, for a friend who loves flowers, for your mother or mother-in-law, for a gardener, a happy person, a wistful person, for a get-well card, for a thank you note, for an invitation to a pool-side party. Put a Hibiscus in your hair!
“He told her the story of the missionary’s bride who wrote home describing her bungalow in an African forest clearing. “Outside my window as I write is a magnificent hibiscus with hundreds of blooms making a splendid splash of color against the jungle.” A year later, she wrote again, and she said outside her window was that “damned hibiscus, still blooming.” ~William C. Heine, The Last Canadian
