Cutting Board - Blue Pansy Sisters

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, symbolising pleasant thoughts, merriment and thoughtful reflection. Two lovely pansy "sisters" lift their little "faces" towards the warmth of the sun in this gorgeous photographic print offered, here, on this wonderful tempered glass cutting board.
