Business Cards - Magenta 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-colored dyes and paints. The zinnia, itself, is representative of lasting friendship, constancy and goodness. The magenta zinnia (like the pink and pale pink zinnias of the same color family), is symbolic of lasting affection. 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. The beautiful bloom makes this a fabulous choice of designs for a business card for a number of professionals . . . home business owners, floral arrangers, self-employed, florists, etc. The bloom is featured on a buttery background for better visibility of the information. You may change the color of the backdrop and, of course, will want to change the information on both the front and back of the card.
