Wildflowers by Patti Callahan Henry lets you send virtual wildflowers and custom messages to friends and family. Each vibrant, originally designed wildflower has its own special meaning that covers every sentiment. Wish friends a quick good luck, thank them for a favor, say goodbye - or let your lover know you're thinking of them.

Inspired by Patti Callahan Henry’s novel Coming Up for Air, Wildflowers features original illustrations by award-winning illustrator Stefan Kjartansson, based on a fusion of Japanese woodcuts and Scandinavian design tradition. Each wildflower is delivered with a message from you, so you can tell your fellow untamed spirits what’s on your mind as you show them what’s in your heart.

Inspiration
Patti Callahan Henry’s novel, Coming Up for Air, tells the story of Ellie, a woman working through her troubled relationship with her recently deceased mother while struggling with a suffocating marriage and the blossoming of a new love for a man from her past.

In a memory from her childhood, Ellie overhears her mother call her a “wildflower”, so she scatters wildflower seeds throughout her mother’s cultured garden, believing her mother must love the beauty and wild nature of these flowers. But when the wildflowers finally bloom, Ellie’s mother pulls them from the earth, telling her that they don’t belong. This destroys Ellie’s childlike heart. But as the adult Ellie discovers secrets from her mother’s own wild past and as love grows between Ellie and a man who cherishes her wild nature, we watch Ellie reclaim the spirit of a “wildflower”.

Coming Up for Air is available wherever books are sold.

Whether proposed by legend or myth, every wildflower has its own meaning, yet all of them share the same untamed nature. Wildflowers by Patti Callahan Henry allows you to send messages of hope, love, encouragement, and inspiration to those in your life whose spirits burst forth as unpredictably and as beautifully as wildflowers.
