Faithful Couple Sequoia Trees, Happy Anniversary Card

"Happy Anniversary, Faithful Couple Sequoia Trees, Yosemite National Park, California" by Catherine Sherman. This pair of sequoia trees are a lovely symbol for the long-married as well as young married couples. The Faithful Couple trees are giant sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum) growing in in Mariposa Grove, a sequoia grove near Wawona, California, in the southwestern part of Yosemite National Park. The joined pair are a rare case in which two trees grew so close together that their trunks have fused together at the base. The grove is largest of giant sequoias in the park, with several hundred mature examples of the tree. Two of its trees are among the 30 largest giant sequoias in the world.
