Victorian Easter Greeting Card with Forget-Me-Nots & Anemones

Set against that utterly flat, somber gray backdrop lies the actual strange choice: someone in Victorian England decided the most spiritually resonant way to celebrate the resurrection of Christ was to spell it out in forget-me-nots—and honestly, respect the commitment. The blue floral cross looms over a bouquet of white star-shaped blooms, pink tulip buds, and pussy willow branches, which is either a deeply earnest religious statement or the world's most passive-aggressive sympathy card. 'A Happy Easter,' reads the gold script in the corner, blissfully unaware that constructing a crucifix out of tiny blue flowers and then flanking it with funereal white blossoms is not the vibe most people associate with chocolate eggs and springtime joy.
