Wrapping Paper Set - Tequila Sunrise 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, affection, constancy and goodness. The orange zinnia, specifically, is symbolic of happiness, energy and warmth. Of course that may be because those are attributes of the colour itself. However, this gorgeous bloom also possesses touches of pink and yellow -- imbuing it with a representation of "lasting affection" and "daily remembrance". From 1931 to 1957, the lovely zinnia also had the distinction of being the Indiana State Flower. It was replaced by the peony in 1957. This delightful, sunny bloom is the inspiration for this delightful set of three sheets of gift wrap . . . one featuring the lovely flower on a coordinated soft peach backdrop, one covered by lovely bi-colour lattice and the third covered completely by overlapping blooms, making this a wonderful choice for your Mother's Day or any spring or summer celebration.
