Product Review Image

I bought this in the greeting card form. I have been purchasing cards from Fine Art America for two or three years. Covid might have been some of the reason for looking for cards on the internet. Shops were closed. The main reason I buy cards from FAA is because I got tired of looking for cards at the usual card shops. I could find cards (sometimes) that looked good on the outside but the verses were terrible or it was the other way around...terrible on the outside but maybe a decent verse inside. I pick cards from FAA that fit with the occasion. I figure I can write something on the inside as good as any card company could. I wouldn't buy these cards if I didn't think they were wonderful. The cards are beautiful and excellent quality and the envelopes are equality as good. I am glad I can make a copy of what I've bought so I can keep track of who gets what card. I don't want to send the same card to someone twice. In this case, the card is going to someone for Mother's Day.

Artist's Description

1795 Illustration from Bertuch Bilderbuch Fur Kinder". Saffron - a spice from the stigma of the flower of Crocus sativus - the "saffron crocus". The styles and stigmas, called threads, are collected and dried to be used as a seasoning and food colouring. Worth more than its weight in gold. Amongst the world's costliest spices. It is a genetically monomorphic clone originating in Eurasia (probably Greece) and taken worldwide. It is a "self-incompatible" triploid and male sterile so all propagation is by vegetative multiplication via manual "divide-and-set" of a starter clone or by interspecific hybridisation. It may have emerged via plant breeding selecting for elongated stigmas, in late Bronze Age Crete. Its properties are from chemicals picrocrocin and safranal and a carotenoid pigment, crocin. There is evidence from old cuneiform texts that it has been traded for over 4000 years."
