The hawthorn, up close
Hawthorn covers its branches in small white flowers only after winter has fully passed, foaming along hedgerows so densely that the wood behind almost disappears.
On the card inside: “Your happiness draws people in without trying. Like hawthorn blossoms that appear after winter's end, there's something magnetic about your hope—contagious, inviting, full of light.”
