Read on to find out what your birth month flower is, plus what it might say about you.
What are birth flowers?
The tradition of birth month flowers is thought to have begun in Roman times.
Back then, flowers were used as decorations or given as gifts as a way to honor birthdays.
Fast-forward to today, and each month still has at least one beautiful bloom to its name.
Red carnations, for example,symbolize love, while white represents purity.
Interestingly, yellow means rejection.
These little flowers are able to withstand harsh conditions, making them the perfect flower for midwinter.
And just as spring represents new beginnings, rebirth, and joy, so do daffodils.
They can also symbolize unrequited love and chivalry.
Daisies are thought to represent innocence, purity, and the keeping of secrets.
“TheMayflowergot its name from hawthorn, which symbolized hope, love, and intimacy,” she adds.
Red roses represent love, orange roses represent passion, and yellow can mean friendship (or jealousy).
White ones represent, you guessed it, purity, and pink represents softer emotions like admiration.
Nowadays, poppies are often used to honor those lost in battle, though they have different historical meanings.
Red, for example, represents pleasure, while white is consolation, and yellow is success.
Robinett tells mbg poppies have mild sedative effects and can be incorporated intorelaxation rituals.
(Red almost always means love, and white almost always means purity.)
They represent sweetness, and giving them to someone suggests you think they’re wonderful just as they are.
