Carried Home — Dahlia & Flor de Maga Heritage Blessing Cotton Gauze Scarf

A wish to carry the colors of home wherever you go.

Carried Home is an Expression Atelier blessing design for heritage & belonging, composed from two flowers with documented meanings, scattered over a hand-drawn botanical vine:

• Dahlia (Mexico) — Mexican floricultural heritage, diversity and national identity; the dahlia was designated Mexico's national flower in 1963.
• Flor de maga (Puerto Rico) — Puerto Rican cultural identity and the care of local flora; its red, hibiscus-like flower belongs to a tree found only in Puerto Rico.

Suggested gift message: “Wherever you go, home goes with you.”
