Walther Otto Müller's hand-coloured wild pansy, drawn for Köhler's 1887 guide to healing plants, opens to a single bloom and the words With Love. Heartsease was once called love-in-idleness, the flower whose juice makes people fall in love in A Midsummer Night's Dream. For someone you hold dear.

Add four of your own photos and your own words; we print the card in the US and post it for you.
