What is Your Birth Flower?

We start the new year with the carnation. Like all other flowers, the different colours of carnations have their own meaning. The most powerful colour is pink and stands for pride, courage, love and friendship. People born in January are said to be charming and adventurous people. Perfect when you consider that the carnation symbolises fascination and an unique character.

Were you born in February? Then your birth flower is an Iris. This beautiful flower represents faith, courage and wisdom. The iris is also often said to represent wisdom and friendship.

Fun fact: Did you know that the Greek word for rainbow is Iris?

Bye-bye winter and welcome spring! Were you born in March yourself? Then your birth flower is a daffodil. This fresh and radiant spring flower represents new beginnings, self-confidence, and vanity, but also unlimited love... People born in March are often seen by those around them as generous and loving people.

Attention! If you give daffodils in a bouquet, this stands for happiness, but if you give one daffodil, it will bring bad luck.

If you were born in April, your birth flower is the Daisy. People born in April are said to be sweet people who love change. This colourful flower is, therefore, a symbol of innocence, youth, and purity.

Fun fact: It is said that the white daisy protects against lightning strikes. Do you believe this?

From the delicate bells of the lily of the valley comes no sound, but a wonderful fragrance. This flower symbolizes happiness! Perfect to give as a gift if you wish someone good luck.

Fun fact: Did you know that in France it is tradition to give a bouquet with Lily of the Valley as a gift on May 1st? Although this tradition has now become more associated with Labor Day, its origins date back to 1561 when King Charles IX was presented with a bouquet and decided to make the same gesture to all the ladies at his court on May 1 each year.

Aah, the rose... the queen of flowers! Were you born in June? Then you are a lucky type. Elegant and stylish, this beautiful flower is known for its colours and its fragrance, but also for being the flower with the most loaded meaning. Every colour and number of roses has its own meaning. She symbolises sincerity, gratitude, and, of course, passionate love!

People born in July like simple things and are known for their positivity. Delphinium comes from the Latin word dolphin and has to do with the shape of the flower.
