A Month-by-Month Guide to Birth Flower Symbolism

Everyone’s all about birthstones (and same, no shade), but let’s talk about birth flowers for a second. Did you know every month gets two blooms? That means you can choose the one that matches your energy, or just vibe with both. Plus, they’re full of meaning and may even contain hidden messages. The best part? Birth flowers are a perfect way to connect with nature while celebrating your unique story. Want the full scoop? Window Box Florist in Pearland and Galveston, Texas has everything you need to know about birth blossom symbolism, and trust, we’ll make sure you get the full 411.

January: Carnation, Snowdrop

January might be serving us major frost and cold breezes (brrr), but carnations and snowdrops are here to warm things up with some fresh-start inspo! Carnations are all about matters of the heart — pink for a mom’s special love, red for those swoony romance emotions, and so on. And intrepid snowdrops? They’re the real January pioneers, breaking through the snow and proving that nothing is impossible.

February: Violet, Iris

February might feel like the struggle bus at times (it’s just the weather, we get it), but violets and irises are in the house, reminding everyone that there’s beauty in every season. Violets are reps of devotion, loyalty, and truth — kinda like a solid BFF. And irises? They’re all about transformation, wisdom, and faith, empowering you to step into your best self with total confidence.

March: Daffodil, Jonquil

When daffodils and jonquils show up (and they always do, big time), it’s a big “spring is here” moment — all the excitement of bright and vibrant things to come, right? Daffodils bloom early, so naturally, they’re all about optimism, renewal, and rebirth. Jonquils bring their own flair with affectionate vibes, anticipation, and a subtle wink of desire. One thing they share? Prosperity energy for days, and we’re 100 percent here for it.

April: Daisy, Sweet Pea

When April rolls up, bringing light and life back to the world, daisies and sweet peas are right there with it. Daisies stand tall for hope, purity, and innocence — they’re the most sincere of trustworthy blooms. Sweet peas bring loyal, blissed-out energy and always keep it honest, no matter what. They’re the kind of flowers that make you want to be your best self 24/7.

May: Lily of the Valley, Hawthorn

The birth flowers of May, lily of the valley and hawthorn, are basically nature’s optimism ambassadors (and then some). Lily of the valley is all about warmth being restored, uncontainable joy, and redemption — plus, royal brides are obsessed with these dainty blossoms, and who can blame them? Hawthorn rounds it out with fertility and that can’t-stop-won’t-stop hope, perfect for always dreaming big.

June: Rose, Honeysuckle

Roses and honeysuckles are putting sweetness front and center, and honestly, we can always use more of it. Roses are the reigning queen of all things love, from fiery passion to devoted loyalty — and their colors? A total language all their own. Honeysuckles bring the glow of infatuation (with all those feel good chemicals), happiness, and affection, which is so swoon-worthy it’s dizzying.

July: Larkspur, Water Lily

When it comes to larkspur and water lilies, they always strike that innately flawless balance. Larkspur shines with sincerity, grace, and major youthful energy that makes you wanna soak up every sunny day. Water lilies are the chill, wise ones, symbolizing enlightenment and rebirth in a way that just feels grounding. Together, they’re a total flower power couple.

August: Gladiolus, Poppy

Gladiolus and poppies are pure floral drama, both in their looks and meaning. Gladiolus, nicknamed sword lilies (which we love, because they’re totally fierce like that), stand for honor, courage, and resilience. Poppies, though, are a bit softer — they’re tied to remembrance, peace, dreams, and sleep. (Shoutout to Elphaba from Wicked for showing us how it’s done with the poppy spell.)

September: Aster, Morning Glory

Cue the casting call for September flowers, with asters and morning glories are front and center. Asters, those star-inspired beauties, are all about love, wisdom, and faith — and their glow is unmatched. Morning glories keep things fresh with their rising and shining blooms, reminding us to chase every moment. Just don’t blink, or you’ll miss their fleeting magic!

October: Marigold, Cosmo

Mystical, meaningful, and straight-up perfect for October, marigolds and cosmos are the ultimate spooky season flowers. Marigolds deliver passion, happiness, wealth, and even a link to other realms (honestly, how deep can you get?). Cosmos keep the balance with their calm, harmonious mood and cosmic (get it?) connections. These two flowers are the definition of magical fall energy.

November: Chrysanthemum, Peony

Gorgeous petals, unmatched class — chrysanthemums and peonies are absolute icons. Mums, the original fall ambassadors, rep longevity, loyalty, and positivity like its second nature. Peonies, the queens of all things luxe, are sending out all kinds of love, abundance, and healing energy. Put them together, and you’ve got prosperity and beauty for days.

December: Holly, Narcissus

December brings us all the festive energy every year, and holly and narcissus are the perfect pair to match the mood. Holly might not have flowers, but those bold red berries are pure holiday magic, repping protection, optimism, and good cheer. Narcissus bring the feel-good factor with self-love and hope up front — who wouldn’t want more of those? In the spirit of renewal, these blooms flawlessly set the tone for the fresh new year on the horizon.

Birth flowers are brimming with meaning, and at Window Box Florist, we’ve crafted bouquets that bring those sentiments to life. Celebrate your closest people — from your parents to your main squeeze — with blooms that make their birthday truly special.
