Understanding Birth Flowers
Birth flowers are flowers associated with each month of the year, similar to birthstones. The tradition dates back to Roman times when people celebrated birthdays and anniversaries with flowers that were in bloom during that month.
Each birth flower carries its own symbolism and meaning. Knowing someone's birth flower makes it easy to choose a thoughtful, personalized gift—whether it's a bouquet, jewelry, or artwork featuring their special bloom.
Most months have both a primary and secondary birth flower, giving you options to choose from based on personal preference or availability.
