Invitation - Pink Zinnia

The zinnia plant, both flowers and leaves, were used by many southwestern tribes as medicinal and ritual herbs. Some have said that the Navajo tribe considers the zinnia one of the sacred life medicines. Still other, Pueblo, tribes are thought to believe the zinnia a symbol of wisdom. We do know, however, that zinnias were used by some southwestern tribes to make brightly-coloured dyes and paints. The zinnia, itself, is representative of lasting friendship, constancy and goodness. The pink zinnia, (as with the magenta and pale pink zinnias) specifically, is symbolic of lasting affection. The beautiful colour AND the association with "lasting affection" make this fabulous invitation an obvious choice for a Mother's Day Brunch, bridal luncheon or birthday party. The lattice design has been rotated on the diagonal to result in more of a chequered backdrop. Of course, you will want to change the information on the back to suit your special occasion.
