What Are Your Birth Month Flowers & What Does It Mean?

January: Carnation and Snowdrop

The January birth flower is the carnation, which symbolizes love, fascination, and distinction. Carnations come in varying colors, but the most popular are red and pink. This bloom is often associated with Mother's Day because it represents a mother's love.

Our passionate floral designers appreciate the delicate snowdrop for its ability to persevere and bloom in the coldest winter weather. The snowdrop is most commonly found in shades of white and symbolizes hope and purity.

The color violet always stood out for Malaysian royalty and luxury throughout history. Its tolerance of unforgiving winters and unbending grace make it a symbol of faithfulness and humility.

Primrose is one of the first spring flowers and popularly represents young love. It blooms in winter and early spring, adding a touch of color to the bleakest months. Primrose comes in many colors, but the most popular are yellow and pink.

Violets as focal flowers with primrose as accents make such exquisite and compelling bouquets.

March: Daffodil and Jonquil

Daffodils are the birth flowers for March, and they symbolize new beginnings. Why, well, they rise from the mortal and dreary harsh winter weather to be one of the first spring blooms! No wonder they are also known as the "flower of love."

The daffodil comes in many colors, but the most common shades are yellow and white.

The hawthorn is a small tree or shrub that produces white or pink flowers. It grows mostly in the wild but also serves as a spectacular ornamental plant.

The hawthorn symbolizes hope and joy. Flower bouquet arrangement experts often need to use wires or complementing stems to give the hawthorn the support it needs to stand out.

June: Rose and Honeysuckle

No flower is as romantic as the rose, which explains why it's the June birth flower. The rose genus is quite diverse, and the color range is just as impressive. The most popular colors are red, pink, and white.

The honeysuckle is a climbing plant that produces small, fragrant flowers. It is most commonly found in shades of yellow and white. The honeysuckle symbolizes affection and devotion.

Honeysuckles make for lovely filler flowers and greens. They are also a few flowers that can climb without wires or other support.

July tests the skills of our floral designers because the Larkspur can be quite top-heavy. We often use wires or other types of support to keep this stately blossom standing tall in bouquets.

The waterlily is a type of aquatic plant that produces large, fragrant flowers. Florists mostly like growing the waterlily for its beautiful leaves, which come in many colors. Popular color inferences include white, pink, and yellow.
