Save Native Plants, Ceramic Mug 11oz, Conservation, ecology, Nature Lover, Naturalist, Environment, Gardener, Monarch chrysalis, botanical

Restore native plants and you've done so much more than just restored plants. You bring back balance to your world. The bees, butterflies, insects, and the soil itself will know and thank you. Spread the word with a mug that has so many endangered plants on it. Aren't they gorgeous? And a cute Monarch chrysalis hiding in there to boot. The perfect gift for the naturalist gardener and eco-conscious conservationist in your life.

I am so stinking happy! When I first began looking into designing for custom-printed mugs, I was crushed to see how they were being shipped. A lot of styrofoam or plastic. How could I forgive myself for selling a mug to kind-hearted conservationists that arrives with that kind of garbage?

But THIS provider has 100% recyclable shipping material! It costs me a little more which I DO NOT push onto to you and boy, is it worth it.

Look, I'm not just making these images about nature. I've raised Monarchs safely on my outside porch every single summer for almost 2 decades. Our garden is organic and I have the weeds to prove it. My heart belongs to this planet and it's right here in this store.

The flowers are all quite real and identifiable.

Clockwise starting at the far left, the red and yellow flower is blanket flower/gallardia, then black-eyed Susan/rudbeckia, right above those there's one stem of yellow coneflower/ratibita pinnata. You have the purple aster/Symphyotrichum, and then the star of the show, purple coneflower/echinacea.

The yellow underneath is Missouri primrose/oenothera, then prairie smoke /geum triflora. Down in the corner is a wild rose/rosa acicularis. Then there's Common milkweed, which of course is the host plant of the Monarch chrysalis that is attached to it, and lastly some common tickseed/coreopsis. Ta-da! It's a good habit to learn both the Latin and common names together because you often will encounter one and not the other.

Perfect for coffee, tea and hot chocolate, this classic shape white, durable ceramic mug comes in the most popular size. High quality sublimation printing makes it an appreciated gift to every true hot beverage lover.
