Almost everyone knows about birthstones (precious and semi-precious gems) related to the month of the year in which a person was born.

Read on to discover what your Birth Month Flower is!

January: Where we are located in upstate New York, there really are not any flowers currently blooming outdoors. However, further South there are flowers that bloom during cool seasons. The carnation is one of these flowers that can grow in cool temperatures.

The meanings associated with the carnation are love, fascination, and distinction.

The colors of carnations span a wide range from white to pink to deep red or purple.  And, if you need an unusual color that isn’t normally available in natural flowers, white carnations can be dyed any color you like.

Tip: If you need special colored carnations, order them at least a week ahead of time so we can get the carnations and the appropriate dye and prepare your special color carnations.

February: Most people think of this month being related to St. Valentine’s Day and red roses. But, you may be surprised to learn that the flower for the month of February is the Violet!

This flower symbolizes faithfulness, humility, and purity. Giving violets during the Victorian era gave the message, “I will always be faithful to you.”

The colors of violets can range from blue, to mauve, to cream and yellow. A little known  fact is that many years ago in England, the violet was called “heartease”.

Spring Brings Cheerful Flowers That Make Lovely Birthday Flowers
