I just returned from a trip to the Gulf Coast of sunny Florida. It is so refreshing getting a full day's worth of sun, when you are used to a full [short] day of clouds - look up the "hours of daylight" for Seattle in the winter if you don't believe me. Sarasota is at 22.3° N and Seattle is at 47.6° N. That is comparable to Taiwan and England. Needless to say, I spent a week daydreaming about all of the plants that I could grow in my garden - orchids mostly, but bromeliads, citrus and rubber trees, and peppers. Yes, peppers take a lot of sun. I don't have that sun in my yard. I have shade. Shade grows moss and lichen.
The pepper postcards, although much thinner than the Max & Co. Post postcards, have a beautiful botanical illustration of several varieties of peppers (Piper sp.). I think they would make wonderful invitations to a dinner party! Or maybe handwritten menu cards? Hmm...
I love the Piper oblongii peppers - they're classic. What is your favorite pepper?
You will find these postcards, as well as many others in the MaxAndCoPost etsy shop.
