Do You Know What Your Birth Month Flower Is?

I bet you know what your birthstone is. The gemstone for February, my birth month, is amethyst. Guess you could say I'm lucky. I absolutely love the color purple. 

              

Until recently I didn't know that every month also has its own special flower to commemorate a birthday. Some months even have two flowers. My birth flowers are ... violets
  

and 

primroses.

Hmmn, have I piqued your interest? Well, read on to find out what your birthstone and special birthday flower is.

March's birthstone is the aquamarine.

 Daffodils bring birthday greetings to all those born in the month of March.

For those born in April, your birthstone sparkles like no other. Yours is the diamond.

with bright, cheery daisies

and the intoxicating scent of sweet peas to color your birth month.

May, your birthstone is the brightest of greens. The brillant emerald.

Your birth month flower is the lily of the valley. Delicate, white bell-shaped flowers add their perfumed sweetness to your birthday.

June, a favorite month for weddings. Creamy white pearls often embellish the silk and fine lace of a wedding gown or grace the slender throat of a blushing bride with their loveliness.  

So what could be more lovely than roses to decorate a bride's bouquet as June's birth flower.

July's birthstone is the ruby and it sizzles with fiery brilliance. 

Lovely water lilies

and tall larkspar

glow with their own brilliance as July's enchanting flowers of the month.

August's precious jewel is a peridot

accompanied by gorgeous gladiolus

and perky poppies

to dazzle August birthdays.

September's birthstone is the stunning sapphire.

Morning glories

and asters

 herald in the beginning of Autumn as September's birth month flowers.

 Shimmering opals shine their light on October birthdays 

and vibrant calendula

bloom with abandon as October's birth flower.

November's birthstone Topaz sparkles with its own kind of fire

equally matched by the vibrant blooms of November's birth flower the chrysanthemum.

December celebrates its winter birthdays with turquoise as its birthstone.

December shares two birth flowers.

Holly

and narcissus

make a striking contrast to be sure.

January's birthstone is as full-bodied and rich as a glass of deep red burgandy wine. January's birthstone is the garnet.

For those of you born in January, your birth flowers are snowdrops

and carnations.

So Happy Birthday to all.  Enjoy your birth flowers ...
