. . . the sunflowers, chrysanthemums, and pink cosmos are arranged down the bookmark, making it tall enough to fit two of each flower in an alternating pattern. The colors don't exactly match, but I don't think that matters when you take into account what the flowers mean.

[flips the bookmark over to read the back]

The sunflowers are for "always having faith." The chrysanthemums are for "strong friendship" and "staying hopeful." The cosmos are for "affection" and "remembering happy things."
