I've decided to introduce this new monthly post as I will be focusing on creating and designing lots of floral paper cut art this year and I thought it would be nice to include some information about certain plants, herbs and flowers that I will be paper cutting so we can all learn something new along the way! (if you have any other information about this months flower, I would love you to leave it in the comments below)
Each post will be accompanied by a free desktop calendar that you can get by signing up to the Mr Yen Newsletter here and several images and information about each flower. I want the posts to be more about the images, with the information as a little extra - and as I've wanted to focus my designs on floral designs for a while now, I thought 2012 would be the year to start this. I hope you enjoy these posts and I would love to hear what you know about this months flower!

Flower Of The Month: January
***
Hyacinths are extremely fragrant and range in colour, from striking deep purple to pure white and subtle pink.
***
These flowers have a very feminine look to them - with a bold fresh fragrance and the simplicity & formal appearance of the flowers themselves, this flower has a striking impact.
***
It is said that just inhaling the intoxicating fragrance of these flowers relieves greif & depression
***
These flowers would make a lovely addition to any spring bouquet or arrangement where you want a strong yet feminine fragrance.

I think they are absolutely gorgeous. I love the smell of Hyacinths. I have never grown any myself. I seem to remember something about putting them under the bed, the bulbs that is!
Anyway, can't wait to see the new work. Also, I love the simplicity of your new blog layout, very elegant. :)

just bought hyacinths today in a pot to cheer up my house now the christmas decorations are down. put them in a glass container with white buttons in the bottom for a bit of interest, and because I love buttons too. when they flower they will smell beautiful, can't wait!
Thanks for the compliments Lorrie! I love the smell of them too - I had some white ones growing earlier this year - but they stopped flowering pretty quick.
I wonder what putting the bulbs under the bed would do?
Thanks for stopping by Hannah! The smell of them cheers me up and they are a great flower to have in the house once Christmas is over ^_^
