Abstract
A greeting card device comprised of a pair of foldable panels and having an inner foldable receptacle capable of retaining water for retention of a living plant. The receptacle contains an inner liner enabling the retention of water. In this way, the greeting card serves not only to present a greeting, but also functions as a plant holder and which may store the very grown plant which is given to the receiver, along with the greeting card. After decay of the living plant, the receptacle can be used for the retention of artificial plant items, such as artificial flowers. In addition, the receptacle can be used for the retention of potpourri, or like dried flowers which have been impregnated or treated with a scent, such as a perfume, scented oil or the like. Thus the greeting card becomes a relatively permanent item, as opposed to one which is disposable and immediately discarded.
