The larkspur, up close
Larkspur sends up tall, straight spikes packed with flowers from the base upward, reaching well above the plants around it and blooming steadily up the stem.
On the card inside: “There's a tenacious quality to your positivity, not fragile optimism but joy that persists. Like larkspur reaching skyward, your brightness grows even in difficult ground.”
