Daisies for Postcard Collectors
The Daisy-A Favorite Among Flower Lovers
Some would call it a weed, the primary representative of the daisy family often being called the Lawn Daisy. This flower may well give fits to owners of large stretches of turf, where the English Daisy grows as an uninvited guest, but artists seem to find the daisy irresistible. Maybe that's why I am finding so many daisies on postcards, with these pretty white flowers displayed in so many ways.
If Zazzle should send me a penny or two when someone buys something I have carefully chosen to display on this blog, the price stays the same. The card costs nothing extra. For the reader, my quest to find and post some nice cards in which you might be interested, adds nothing to the cost.
Daisy Postcards by Original Artists
Here's a beautiful watercolor treatment of daisies among coneflowers, lilacs and other beauties of the floral world. Delicate blues, purples, greens adorn this lovely collage style work of floral art, with daisies at the center. This would be a nice card for framing.
Holiday Daisies on a Postcard
Vintage postcard collectors will appreciate this New Year's Day postcard showing a Victorian Era girl in a frilly white dress bearing a big bouquet of daisies. Sporting a green border and a red date, you can enjoy this adorable card as the New Year approaches, as when you are sending a card for the new year, it's still the Christmas Season. The only way this vintage card could be more trendy is if some of that greenery were eucalyptus.
Daisies of Europe
Basel, Switzerland has often been the site of peace negotiations and other international meetings. Back in 1924, it played host to a horticultural exhibition, famous today largely because of its daisy poster. For that flower show, Niklaus Stoecklin, a Swiss artist born in 1896, created this eye-popping white daisy on a black background. The German words on the poster read Gartenbau Austellung Basel Des Handelsgartner Verbandes Beider Basel 5-15 SEPT 1924 IN DER MUSTERMESSE. The Mustermesse is a sample fair which has been taking place in Basel since 1917. Wikimedia Commons has several other posters from the various Mustermessen held throughout the years.Daisy Love and the Quickening Heart
Gardeners love the springtime, after living through the dark and cold months of winter. This artist shows how the heartbeat quickens when a flower lover goes to buy daisies. I am quite sure the same applies to gardeners when they visit the garden center in April or May ready to bring home a cartload of tiny flowers and get ready to watch them grow!
Funny Cards with Daisies
Simple flowers, daisies are just plain fun, the perfect flower for this cute cartoon zebra to be holding on this yellow postcard. Not all daisies are white, by the way. This black and white zebra seems to have a penchant for the purple. Purple gifts are popular, and yellow is the complementary color to purple, so the two hues look awesome together on this fun postcard perfect for sending around the globe.
Flower Child with Daisy
In your search for daisy postcards, you may find quite a few examples of fantasy art such as this flower child with not one, but three daisies. My favorite is the green boots and the rainbow background! For good measure, add in the cat and you have a postcard sure to please many a collector.
