Light Switch Cover - Ruffled Lavender Pansy

The name, pansy, is a derivation of the French word "pensee" which literally translates to "thought". In his play, MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, Shakespeare chose a concoction of pansy juice as a love potion. In Victorian times, a small bouquet of pansies meant, "Think of me." Some believe the pansy to be a charmed flower of telepathic magic, claiming that attending the plucked flower you could hear a lover's thoughts. The pansy is also thought to have the power to strengthen one's memory, which could be used to remember all the "common" names for pansies: "heart's ease", "three faces under a hood", "flame flower", "jump up and kiss me", and "Johnny jump ups". In addition to all of that, pansies also have an impressive floriography, symbolizing pleasant thoughts, merriment and thoughtful reflection. This spectacular, ruffled, pencilled, lavender bloom has a rather unusual yellow blotch that "bleeds" into dramatic bluish pencil lines. Thought by many to resemble little faces, this beauty is offered here on a backdrop of pale purple on this lovely light switch cover. In the bathroom or bedroom, this beautiful cover plate brings a little touch of nature and a gorgeous hint of color to your home decor.
