A ROSE By Any Other Name, Due February 01, 2019
….Strange names, odd facts, also their Magical, Mystical, and Fantasy properties, plus Lore and Legends
RETURNS MAILED 02/04
A Rose is a Rose, is a Rose
A Rose by any other name is still a Rose
A Cabbage is a Cabbage, is a Cabbage, unless it is a SKUNK CABBAGE
Did you know that tomatoes were once called "Love Apples", but were considered POISONOUS
Did you know that Shakespeare had "Secret" names for flowers, and used these secret names in many of his plays.
Did you know that the Catnip your cat so loves, also makes a Witches' Brew
Did you know that in Medieval times "Bat Wing" was the common name for Holly
The list goes on: Corpse Flowers, Zombie Plant, Wolfbane, Witch Repellent.
This swap is about
Real plants with interesting properties, other than eating them, such as use of Marigold flowers as a mosquito repellent;
Real plants with odd folk names, such as the Frost Explosion Plant or Egyptian Walking Onions or Bat Wings;
Did you know that Frost Weed consists of stems that explode with frozen frost sculptures when the weather gets cold,

I don't think these photos look "REAL", but apparently they are actual pictures.
Create ATCs with real plants, herbs, flowers, fruits, or vegetables that actually exist. Then depict or reveal the strange, magical, or mystical, common plant names, plus lore, legends and oddities about your plants, the more obscure or little known the details, the better.
Since your submissions may include less well known plants or flowers, please write the name of the plant or flower on the front or the back of the ATC, and please include some documentary details, or legend or lore, about the plant or flower.
You can be whimsical (A butterfly bush growing butterfly buds and real butterflies) or realistic (A butterfly bush, also known as the Buddleia).
Or a humorous barking DOG wood tree ("dog") or real dogwood flowers.
Or crazy bachelor BUTTONS growing on a button plant, or real bachelor button flowers.
* This is a 3 for 3 or 6 for 6 card trade. Make 3 or 6 cards and receive the same number back.
* ALL mediums and techniques are welcome.
Please make sure you add some depth to your cards, whatever style you choose. Your mediums can include, but are not limited to: paper, tissue paper, crayon, acrylic, watercolor, gel pens, colored pencil, rubber stamping, ink, newspaper clippings, magazine clippings, etc. Please do not take a magazine image, cut it into a square, glue it onto some colored paper, and call it done. Make the ATC YOUR CREATION! I do ask that you send in your best work --- something you would not be disappointed in receiving if it was sent to you.
*Please sign up by posting to this thread.
* ONLY ATCs allowed. No APCs accepted.
* All cards need to be standard ATC size: 2.5” x 3.5”
* All cards need to be sent each in their own plastic sleeve. This is for their protection!
* All cards need to be sturdy enough to earn the name “card” (no floppy or flimsy paper). If your ATC is drawn or otherwise created on a single sheet of paper, and "flimsy", please back your ATC with something stiffer, such as a cereal box. Just as important, check for cards that are too thick. Each card must still be capable of fitting into the standard ATC sleeve. If your ATC will not fit into an ATC sleeve, it is too bulky.
* Please put the Swap name and your Username on the back of all cards. And please write clearly on everything!
.....We can't give you itrades and/or You Rock! points if we don't know who you are.
* Please confirm there is enough postage on the envelope.
.....Please check both the envelope you send to me, and the envelope I need to send back to you.
* If you are unsure about mailing ATCs, or just may want to pick up some good tips for shipping, here is a great link.

* If you are inside the U.S., please include a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope 4 by 9 1/2 inches, with 55 cents postage, or one "Forever" stamp if trading 3 cards, OR additional postage or two "Forever" stamps if trading 6 cards, OR if your cards are extra heavy. POSTAGE RATES GO UP JANUARY 27, 2019 FOR FIRST CLASS MAIL
* Canadian and other International participants, if you have U.S. funds, or U.S. postage, it is greatly appreciated. Please send $1.00 or 1 "Forever" stamp. However, since many of you do not have access to U.S. stamps, I will cover your postage. Please include a self addressed envelope 4 by 9 1/2 inches (10 x 28 cm), or if you do not have the correct size envelope, please include a large mailing label with your address and I will provide the envelope.
* I apologize for being so demanding about the envelope size, but the postal rates in the US charge extra for thickness. When cards are stacked, or overlapped, in (a smaller) envelope, it almost always costs more to mail. If you send me a small envy, the cards get stacked. When I use the 4 inch by 9 1/2 inch business size envelopes, I can spread the cards over the area, making a THIN package, and only pay for basic (minimum) postage.
* Cards are due to me by February 01, 2019. Please allow sufficient lead time for cards to get to me, particularly if you are an International participant. Returns will be mailed promptly. Late cards will be returned, as it is unfair to those participants who always have their cards in early or on time.
* A hostie card in this theme is appreciated but not at all expected!
* Thank you for considering this swap! If you have my address from previous swaps, it hasn't changed. If you are new, or have misplaced my address, please send me a PM.
* Above all ~Have fun!!!
