Flowers have always carried meaning beyond their beauty. Across different cultures, blooms have been linked to emotions, virtues, and stories. What many don’t realise is that each month has its own birth flower—unique blossoms chosen to represent the qualities of those born in that time. Whether you’re curious about your own or searching for a thoughtful birthday gift, birth flowers offer a symbolic way to celebrate.

Discovering the Beauty of Birth Flowers
