Our dear friend Ann (AKA Fauxmaven) sent me this card and it was so beautiful I had to share. Happy Running Away From Home Day to all the Americans I know.

That is a very nice card. And educational. : ) However, the state flower of Ohio is not the red carnation as shown. It's the flower with the orange and yellow striped stem and the bright yellow blossom on top that grows on Ohio roads from spring through winter. I don't recall the name...oh...yes, now I remember...the traffic cone.

Funny, that seems to be the provincial flower of Saskatchewan too!

You are thinking of the varietal Dianthus vinylis :) which is a first cousin to Dianthus caryophyllus, beloved flower of William McKinley.

Thanks Mick! My high school Spanish teacher sent that card to me, but I didn't open it until after I saw yours.

What was the Fourth like around Casa Mick'n'Jax?
