In the Victorian language of flowers, the variegated tulip stands for elegance and grace. These variegated French tulips were painted in watercolor by artist Meredith Raiford Akins and printed on a generously sized white 100% cotton flour sack tea towel.
Part of the Language of Flowers collection, this lovely towel features ruffled coral and red variegated French tulips in the center display on crisp white cotton, with the scientific name on the bottom right-hand side and the floriography meaning, 'elegance and grace', on the bottom left.
An elegant hostess, bridal shower, or Mother's Day gift, and a refined spring accent for any kitchen.
Details
- 100% cotton flour sack tea towel, white
- 27" x 27" — generously sized for everyday use or display
- Pre-washed and pre-shrunk, so it holds its size wash after wash
- Original botanical watercolor, hand-painted by Meredith Raiford Akins
- Victorian flower meaning: "Elegance and Grace"
- Soft, absorbent, lint-free, and durable
All towels are pre-washed and pre-shrunk so you don’t have to worry about fading or warping with time. They are made with a specialty printer that allows the ink to be embedded into the fabric rather than set on top of it. This further protects the artwork with use and gets rid of that unwanted sheen that sometimes comes across in similar towels.
Care
Machine wash cold and tumble dry low.
