Description: "Peace be With You" - Gilded Cross - Lewis Flax & Violets - 1908 - EMBOSSED: Linum lewisii (Linum perenne var. lewisii) (Lewis flax, blue flax or prairie flax) is a perennial plant in the family Linaceae, native to western North America. The species was named for North American explorer Meriwether Lewis. Flowering Flax isn't just another pretty bloom; it's a symbolic heavyweight. Historically, it's been a beacon of purity, a testament to perseverance, and a metaphor for rebirth. Each color and petal shape whispers a different aspect of its rich language, with blue and white varieties often celebrated in art. The violet can signify "Modesty" and "Humility" and is often looked upon as a sign of innocence. Bunches of violets were hence used as gifts for newlyweds. Violets are symbolic of faith, mystical awareness, inspiration, spiritual passion, profuseness and sovereignty. This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1908, is in good condition but there is edge and corner wear.
