Birth Month Flowers and Their Meanings
Forget Mercury in retrograde, what does your flower say about you? Are you a delicate violet? A dramatic chrysanthemum? A marigold menace? We’re talking about birth month flowers—those charming little botanicals that represent each month of the year.
Birth flowers as the floral equivalent of your star sign: a bit cliché, slightly questionable, but weirdly accurate. Each month has an assigned bloom, each with symbolic meanings that may or may not match your actual personality. Not that that’s ever stopped anyone from announcing, “I’m such a July” before.
We’re not here to convince you your entire personality can be distilled into a daffodil. But we are saying it’s a lot more fun than trying to make sense of vague horoscopes. So whether you're here to uncover your botanical alter ego or just want to see if your ex’s birth flower is as toxic as they are, here's everything you need know about birth flowers (with absolutely no scientific backing, but a lot of enthusiasm).
What Are Birth Flowers Anyway?
Back in the Victorian era, people got really into floriography—also known as the “secret language of flowers.” Every bloom had a meaning, which meant you could say “I love you” or “please leave me alone forever” without actually saying a word. Emotional repression, but make it botanical.
Since texting “u up?” wasn’t an option, you could send a carefully curated bouquet to spill your heart (or deliver a subtle insult) instead. What could possibly go wrong?
Fast-forward to today, and that whole system has been simplified into something much easier to remember: one flower (sometimes two) for each month. And that's how birth flowers became a thing. Think birthstones, but less sparkly and more likely to wilt if you forget to water them.
Maybe you love the symbolism or just need another excuse to buy a floral accessory—either way, here’s the complete chart. Sentimental, symbolic, and—most importantly—personal without crossing into cringe territory.
What are the birth flowers for each month?
The Birth Flower Chart
| Month | Flower | Meaning |
| January | Carnation, Snowdrop | Love, resilience, strong opinions and hot tea |
| February | Violet, Primrose | Loyalty, modesty, chaotic good |
| March | Daffodil | New beginnings, joy, spontaneous dancing |
| April | Daisy, Sweet Pea | Playfulness, innocence, low-key mischief |
| May | Lily of the Valley, Hawthorn | Sweetness, stubborn optimism, flower child vibes |
| June | Rose, Honeysuckle | Passion, romance, possibly writes poetry |
| July | Larkspur, Water Lily | Positivity, grace, cries at everything |
| August | Gladiolus, Poppy | Strength, flair, dramatic entrances only |
| September | Aster, Morning Glory | Wisdom, patience, colour-coded calendar energy |
| October | Marigold, Cosmos | Warmth, creativity, likely owns tarot cards |
| November | Chrysanthemum | Loyalty, honesty, secretly a party starter |
| December | Narcissus, Holly | Hope, protection, festive but intense |
Why are there 2 birth flowers for each month?
Because nature can be fickle. Some months have more than one birth flower thanks to regional differences, seasonal availability, or just general indecisiveness from whoever made the list. More options, more chaos.
So, What Does Your Flower Really Say About You?
It’s time for a personality breakdown of each birth flower—100% not approved by botanists, therapists, or anyone remotely qualified. But wildly entertaining all the same. Think of this as a floral roast-slash-love letter to your month of birth.
So grab a cup of tea, pretend this is research, and get ready to meet your botanical alter ego. Because your birth flower might just reveal more about you than your star sign ever could—and it comes with fewer existential crises.
- January: You’re the group chat organiser. You don’t believe in ghosts but you’re open to it.
- February: Quiet in public, chaotic in the DMs. No one sees it coming.
- March: Sunshine incarnate with a tendency to overshare at brunch.
- April: Big “I'm just here for a good time” energy.
- May: Sweet as pie, but could absolutely ruin someone’s life if needed.
- June: Romantic, dramatic, and always a little overdressed.
- July: You cry easily—and look stunning doing it.
- August: Can turn a compliment into a roast and vice versa.
- September: Has a spreadsheet for everything. Even holidays.
- October: Witchy, wonderful, probably owns crystals.
- November: Underestimated until it’s too late.
- December: Jingle all the way—but make it intimidating.
