Have you ever wondered about birth flowers? Most people know about birthstones and astrological signs, but few are aware that there is a flower associated with each calendar month.
Every month has its own birth flower. Most of the time, these represent flowers that are in season during that month. Sometimes, they stand for deeper meaning. It’s interesting to explore what each flower means in the language of flowers.
Sometimes these meanings differ depending on which country you are in. For example, the chrysanthemum originated in China, where it was so honored that they have a city named after it and hold an annual chyrsanthemum festival. Yet in many countries in Europe, it’s used primarily for graves and honoring the dead.
There are many uses for birth month flowers. Some people use them to create theme gardens. You can have a memorial garden honoring those you love with their birth month flowers. They make thoughtful birthday gifts. Also, you can use them for a fun baby shower theme. Just decorate with flowers from the baby’s due date!
Whether you want to use them for a theme party, or just want to learn more about what they mean, birth month flowers are an interesting study!
