Pansies Pansy Pla Nts Post Card Tri Color Viola Pensees
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage postcard, titled "Pansy Postcard" or "Pensees" in French, showcases the timeless beauty of Viola tricolor, commonly known as the pansy. Dated back to 1905, this historical image captures the essence of the popular flower, with its tri-colored petals unfurling in a delicate dance of hues. The pansy, a beloved plant in gardens and bouquets, has a rich history that spans centuries. Originating in Europe, the pansy was first cultivated for its edible roots and leaves, which were used in salads and as a substitute for violets. However, it was not until the 19th century that the pansy gained popularity as an ornamental flower. Its unique, multi-colored blooms, which come in shades of yellow, purple, and red, became a symbol of remembrance and reflection, earning the name "Pensees," which means "thoughts" in French. This postcard, published by an unknown printer, captures the pansy in all its splendor, with its velvety petals and intricate veining. The soft focus and muted color palette add to the dreamlike quality of the image, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The delicate folds of the card and the embossed border add to the overall charm of this collectible piece. As we gaze at this beautiful postcard, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of the pansy, a flower that continues to captivate us with its beauty and history. Whether used as a decorative element in a garden or as a symbol of thoughtfulness in a bouquet, the pansy remains a beloved flower that transcends time and culture.
