Description
This blue antique vase of delicate plum blossoms has an important message. Inside the card, in Chinese, is the proverb: “You have to grow through dirt to reach full bloom.”
If you “get it,” you know who to give it to: anyone near and dear who is going through a rough patch, or who has survived tough stuff that would defeat a weaker will.
This card is for a substantial birthday, a mother, a business owner, a cancer survivor, someone going through divorce, despair, financial peril, existential crisis, writer’s block, toothache, a hurricane, a literal or physical wreck. When times get tough remember that flowers literally grow through dirt. The wry humor of the proverb will show you appreciate their plight and their grit. We WILL survive.
