A sour cherry branch in white blossom and ripe red fruit, drawn by Walther Otto Müller for Köhler's 1887 guide to medicinal plants, opens to a simple Happy Birthday. This is the cherry of pies, jams and Black Forest cake, and its stones were once warmed and sewn into little pillows to keep feet warm. For someone who loves a garden or a good cherry pie.

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