Fig greeting card

Fine botanical watercolor of the beloved fig and paired with a beautiful envelope with interesting notes on the back. In the Qur'an, it is said about the fig... 'If a Fruit ever descended from Paradise...this is it...' The fig tree has an ancient and beloved history and is said to symbolize wisdom and success. The large roots of a fig tree are thought to represent the past, its trunk the present, and its branches, the future. Figs are uniquely structured, as the fruit is actually an inverted flower with pollination happening internally—some varieties are self-pollinating and others require a very particular species of wasp. Measures 4.25" x 6.25". Blank inside. Illustration by Montana artist, Terese Blanding.
