Questions

What is a birth flower?

A birth flower is a flower linked to the month you were born, much like a birthstone. Each one carries its own meaning, usually tied to the season it blooms in.

How do I find my birth flower?

Find the month you were born. Each month has a main flower, and most have a second one too. January is the carnation, June is the rose, and December is the narcissus.

Why do some months have two birth flowers?

Birth flowers are a tradition, not a fixed standard. Different places favored different flowers depending on what grew there, so most months ended up with two.

What is the difference between a birth flower and a birthstone?

Both are linked to your birth month. A birthstone is a gem, while a birth flower is a bloom with its own meaning, which makes it an easy idea for bouquets, cards, and tattoos.
