Ajo Lily by Carolyn Schmitz

In exchange for his handiwork, a Brush Mouse was offered safe passage by the owl. Around her shoulders he wound strands of Creosote seeds, Desert Chicory, and feather-soft blooms of acacia and Desert Fern. To a pad of cactus fiber, he nimbly affixed midnight-blue Desert Bells, a constellation of Gravel Ghost flowers on their invisible stems, and finally one moon-bright lily with its long, rippling leaves.  Greeting cards from original paintings by Arizona artist Carolyn Schmitz. Whimsical portraits of wildlife and native plants from the mountains and deserts. Greeting cards are 5×7 and blank inside.  The back of each card lists the native plants used in the painting.  Envelopes are included.       Printed in the USA
