Bright and full of life, the orange tree says "you bring me joy" in the Victorian language of flowers. This orange tree branch was painted from life 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 an orange tree branch in the center display on crisp white cotton, its scientific name on the bottom right-hand side, and its translation into floriography, 'you bring me joy,' on the bottom left. The same artwork appears in the matching You Bring Me Joy – Orange Tree botanical art print, set against a dramatic black background, the light towel and dark print make a striking pair.
A cheerful thank-you or hostess gift for the people who brighten your days, and a sunny citrus accent for your own 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: "You Bring Me Joy"
- 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.
