Most people have heard of birth stones and astrological signs, but did you know that each month also has its own birth month flower? Each month has been assigned a plant that represents that month. Usually, it is one that grows during that time of year. But sometimes, it is symbolic of what that month is about.

Birth month flowers each have a unique symbolic meaning. In the language of flowers, a plant can represent love, death, happiness, and just about every emotion you could think of. Also, different flowers reflect different types of mythology. Many of our names for flowers come from the Greeks, who thought that the plants represented different gods or people the gods turned into plants.

Some flowers, especially those that are found around the globe, have vastly different meanings from culture to culture. For example, the chrysanthemum, which means death in Europe, means wisdom and honor in China.

A knowledge of birth month flowers can come in useful in many situations. For example, you can use birth flowers to make a unique birthday or baby gift. You can also create a memorial garden around the plants. Some people like to make a garden of each of their children’s birth flowers. It can make a fun place for the children to play that is rich is meaning.

But one of the best applications of these plants is knowing the symbolism. Once you know the language of flowers, you can send secret messages through the bouquets you send. It can make a fun game, as well as make every floral arrangement more romantic.
