SKU: 9329813000177
Regular price $6.95

per 

Almost architectural in form, the Pin-cushion Hakea is one of Western Australia’s most distinctive native flowers. This Bush Gems Greeting Card features Meryl Bell’s original floral art of Hakea laurina, commonly known as Pin-cushion Hakea, or kodjet in Noongar language.

Endemic to Western Australia, it grows as an impressive shrub or small tree, producing striking globular flower heads in red and cream against long blue-green leaves. Its unusual shape has made it a popular ornamental plant and a familiar sight in gardens and streetscapes.

In the language of flowers, Pin-cushion Hakea is associated with nobility and longevity, adding another layer of meaning to Meryl’s interpretation of this remarkable native bloom, and its offering of your own message.

“I found Bell Art at the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney. I was looking for a good souvenir to remember our trip to Australia and I found the beautiful Floral Emblem cards. I got the one with the floral emblem of Australia and then one for each of the three states we visited, framed when I got back home to the U.S. I now have a beautiful series of art that reminds me of our trip!”

“I was given the delightful Gum Bugs card collection when an Australian friend visited me in France. I sent them, over time, to my daughter in Oregon USA. When it came to the last card I wrote sadly 'the last one' on the back. For Xmas she sent me the card now in a handsome frame, with the last message on the back. So you can understand why I am sending some to her!”

“I bought some of your greeting cards (Flannel Flower, Wattle) from a shop and loved them. Not remembering where I bought them, I found you online and fell in love with your other products - I’m travelling to visit relatives in Germany soon and your placemats will be a perfect and tasteful gift for them.”

– Jane Simon

“They are excellent cards for very special friends. The quality and the native flower photos are stunning. I am love sending them to my family and friends on memorable occasions. Well worth the money. Thank you.”

“Your lovely cards arrived this morning and I am so very pleased with them. I am taking them to England as a gift for my cousin and the cards are especially striking as they illustrate some of the native flowers in the bush reserve next to our house.”

– Louise Oates

“I don't purchase any other cards.These are my 'multi-purpose' cards for everyone I correspond with. Especially appreciated In Europe & Canada.”

– Helena B.

“These cards are so beautiful they are a delight to send to friends and family and important clients as they are in themselves a gift to receive. Great quality, stunning artwork, highly recommend. Also great for overseas friends because they are quintessentially Australian without being 'kitsch'.”

MADE TO SAY IT YOUR WAY

Blank inside.

Made for your message.

Birthdays, thank-yous, congratulations, thinking of you, or simply because, Bell Art greeting cards are intentionally left blank inside so the words can be entirely your own.

Meryl Bell’s floral art sets the scene on the outside. What you say next is up to you, making each card as versatile as the occasion and as personal as the message.

MADE IN AUSTRALIA

Good on paper.

Good beyond it.

Bell Art greeting cards are designed and made in Australia using eco-friendly papers and inks, and the card, envelope and packaging are fully recyclable.

And their connection to Australian flora goes beyond the artwork. Part proceeds from every Bell Art purchase support the Australian Flora Foundation, helping fund research into the native plants that have inspired Meryl’s art and Bell Art for more than 30 years.
