Flower for September - Forget Me Not (Myosotis)

Suddenly September is now on our doorsteps and summer is coming to an end (hopefully not too quickly) - the last few weeks have been lovely and sunny, so heres hoping it lasts longer!

This month is all about the Forget-Me-Not flower, or Myosotis. You may find it growing on the side of the road, in country fields & gardens. The little sprigs of this delicate flower seem to pop up throughout the year and can be a lovely shade of cornflower blue, or even in a sweet purplish-pink shade.

We are excited to reveal that this flower has been added to our birth flower print series, and is now available on our website as well as Not On The High Street.

From the Deconstructing Flora series, the Forget-Me-Not photographic print features the petals of a deconstructed forget-me-not flower, which is thought to celebrate true, everlasting love and memories.

It features the delicate pastel blue petals of a forget-me-not,that has been laid out in a grid-like formation which gives a nice minimal feel. This gorgeous botanical print can be personalised with a name and/or date to make it that extra meaningful gift. If you prefer a more simplistic look without text then you can select this from the drop down menu. It comes in two sizes - 23x23cm or 50x50cm, perfect if you’re looking to add a minimal country touch to your walls this month.

How to “Pop” some Spring into your home

Spring is a great time to freshen up your home by bringing in new pops of colour. As the outdoors springs back to life with fresh leaves on the trees and colours of emerging flowers bursting onto the scene, it is a perfect time to review the look of our homes.

Start by decluttering the Winter woes and giving your home a good Spring clean.

Next - bring the colours of spring indoors. Look for areas in your home that will benefit from a pop of colour - living areas and bedrooms are a great place to start.

Lastly, to complement your textiles, bring a few green plants in and place them around your home. We are loving the String of Hearts plant (Ceropegia Woodi) at the moment - it features sweet little heart-shaped leaves that cascade down. This one can be found at www.botanyshop.co.uk ❤

Birth Month Flowers - March

Spring at last! March releases all the beauty of nature stored over winter. The daffodil is one of the most vibrant flowers and represents Spring and new beginnings.

A member of the narcissus family, the fresh yellow shades remind us of the coming of sunnier days and happiness.

“Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.” Luther Burbank

  We are very excited that the daffodil will be the first of our new range of birth flower art prints to be released on Not on the Hign Street. https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/sarahblythe/product/personalised-daffodil-birth-flower-print

Birth Month Flowers - February

Flowers are used to convey many special meanings and feelings. There is at least one flower to represent each month of the year.

In the U.K. February is represented by the iris or violet. 

The blue iris brings meaning of faith, hope, wisdom and courage whilst the blue violet symbolises love and faithfulness.

Sarah Blythe will soon be releasing a new range of art prints featuring birth flowers. Whilst some of our art prints are available as ready made, bespoke orders are also available for products such as baby wraps, tote bags and scarves. These would make ideal gifts for the arrival of a new baby, a birthday gift for a friend or even an anniversary gift for a loved one!
