"Fair Alabama richly blest, Your name meaneth, 'Here we rest,' Endowed with Nature's treasures rare, The violet is your emblem fair."
The postcard depicts a bunch of violets (labeled as the "Alabama State Flower") and the Capitol in Montgomery. Violets were never an official emblem, however. Goldenrod was named the state flower in 1927 and was replaced by the camellia in 1959.
