The Royal Catchfly is a prairie plant that grows up to three feet, and is considered an endangered plant in Illinois. Quite interestingly, the color red is not at all common in prairie plants due to the fact that most pollinating insects (like bees) are not sensitive to this range of the light spectrum. The calyx is a light green and covered with very sticky hairs that trap climbing insects. The plant blooms in mid- to late summer. Cards are printed on off-white card stock with matching envelope, each measures 7-1/4" x 3-1/2". Each card has a hint of gold gilt on the flower heads and are blank inside unless otherwise specified. Inside message if desired: "Joy and best wishes for a Happy New Year." If you prefer cards with printed message inside, mention that in the comment section of the PayPal order screen.
