N is for Narcissus.
Narcissus were well known even in ancient civilisations. Most would recognise the name from the Greek myth of the young man who fell in love with his own reflection. The Narcissus symbolises good wishes, faithfulness and respect.
The Botanical Alphabet is inspired by old scientific botanical illustrations and categories of olden day Explorers and Naturists. Paired with modern outlined sans serif letters and bold colour blocks, it has a much more contemporary feel while still keeping a hint of the much loved illustration genre of the past.
The Botanical Alphabet series is also available as greeting cards, so you can send a very personal card for any occasion featuring your friend’s initial.
Burnt orange, golden yellow, cream white, and soft olive green – this print runs warm from corner to corner, anchored by a deep terracotta diagonal that gives the composition real heat. Those undertones make it a natural companion to walls in a warm off-white with a honey or biscuit lean, which lets the golden letter and the daffodils glow without competition. For a bolder tonal scheme, a wall in deep ochre or amber will pull the yellow forward and give the whole piece a sunny, saturated confidence. If you want contrast without losing warmth, a muted sage or dusty olive – both close to the olive green of the stems and leaves – offers a near-complementary shift that feels considered rather than jarring. This print belongs firmly in the Botanical Alphabet collection, a series that fuses vintage scientific illustration with bold modern typography – a nod to the age of exploration with a decidedly contemporary edge – and it pairs beautifully with other letters from the collection arranged as a gallery wall. In terms of style, it suits maximalist interiors that welcome pattern and colour, mid-century modern rooms where warm palettes and clean graphic forms already coexist, eclectic bohemian spaces that layer texture and botanicals, and Japandi-influenced rooms where the single bold letter reads as an intentional focal point against restrained surroundings. A kitchen or garden room benefits most from its cheerful spring energy; a home office or study gains a sense of grounded personality. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone with a love of nature, a meaningful initial to celebrate, or an appetite for art that is both decorative and quietly educational.
Printed on Enhanced Matte art paper using archival pigment inks, this is a smooth, gallery-grade stock with a soft, glare-free surface that earns its description as museum-grade without any of the harshness of a gloss finish – and because it reflects no light, it reads clearly from any angle, which matters in kitchens and hallways where light shifts throughout the day. The matte surface takes equally well to a slim black or natural oak frame and to an ornate gilded vintage frame, both of which suit different facets of the print’s personality. At A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) or A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) it is compact enough for a shelf ledge, a bedside table lean, or a tightly composed gallery wall; at A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) it becomes a confident standalone piece above a desk or beside a doorway; and at A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) the daffodils and the bold golden N have enough scale to anchor a wall above a sofa or sideboard and hold their own in a generous room. This print is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas, ready to hang with no frame needed.
