STAR OF THE MONTH

Myosotis sylvatica (forget-me-not)

Very possibly the most overtly romantic flower we have, not for any botanical reason, but simply because of the name. In even the youngest mind it inspires stories of love in all its many forms. A pressed forget-me-not in an old book conjures up a vision of enduring love, or a posy of flowers pushed through the window of a departing train, Victorian lovers banned from marriage by strict parents (hurriedly exchanging kisses and nosegays in an alley), a couple walking hand in hand in spring sunshine and pausing to pick the flowers. You get the picture…

Easy to grow – in most gardens it self seeds like anything. Pull out plants as they fade and become mildewy.
