Description

A golden sweet potato with gnarled, bulbous form sits grounded at the composition's base, sprouting delicate pink morning glory flowers with dark crimson centers and verdant leaves that rise gracefully above it. The hand-colored botanical illustration uses warm earth tones and soft greens against a cream ground, rendered with the precise naturalism and gentle romanticism characteristic of nineteenth-century scientific plant studies. Printed on smooth white card stock and made to order, artwork on the front, blank inside, envelopes included in every set. A handwritten note that arrives as an independent artist's work.
