We received our first Christmas card today. It’s quite small but made of recycled paper which has been embedded with Swan River daisy seeds. You soak the card then place in some earth, lightly cover it and keep it moist. Germination should take place in 7-21 days. What a great idea! The Swan River daisy (Brachyscome iberidifolia) is an Australian native; an attractive, versatile annual which is low-growing and low maintenance. Sounds like my type of flower.
