These sympathy cards feature our original illustration of blooming Dutch crocuses (Crocus vernus) and a spring azure butterfly (Celastrina ladon). Both are symbols of spring and renewal that send kind support to someone who has experienced a loss.

Seed paper cards are a lovely way to honor the memories of someone who is gone. Your recipient can plant this card to grow a mix of wild flowers in their loved one’s name: bird’s eye, clarkia, black-eyed Susan, sweet alyssum, catchfly, and snapdragon. The cream-colored seeded paper has the seeds directly embedded in it and is made from post-consumer waste.
