We all know birthstones are iconic (who doesn’t love a little sparkle?), but did you know you’ve got two birth flowers to call your own? That’s right, double the choices, double the fun! Even better, each one comes with its own unique symbolism that’s all about you and your fellow birth month friends, 100 percent. These blossoms are the real deal because they go beyond pretty — they also teach us about ourselves. Ready to learn the 411? Perro’s Flowers in Worcester, Massachusetts is here to give you the scoop.

January: Carnation, Snowdrop

It’s cold out there, no lie (brrr), but carnations and snowdrops are keeping it fresh as January’s birth flowers! Carnations serve up all kinds of meaning, like pink for mom-level sweetness or red for those spicy romance vibes. Snowdrops, though? They’re the ultimate trailblazers, pushing through the frost like, “New year, who’s this?” Talk about motivational!

February: Violet, Iris

Let’s face it, February’s can give off some serious struggle-bus energy (ugh, so dreary), but violets and irises show up like total legends to brighten the scene (so here for it). Violets keep it real with loyalty, devotion, and truth — just like your BFFs in real life. Meanwhile, irises are all about wisdom, faith, and those transformative feels that get you ready to accomplish anything.

March: Daffodil, Jonquil

Daffodils and jonquils are spring’s way of saying, “Let’s get this new season party started!” Daffodils spread their petals super early, so of course they’re repping optimism, renewal, and rebirth like bosses. Jonquils keep it intriguing with affection, a hint of anticipation, and a subtle dash of desire. And let’s not forget — both flowers bring prosperity, which is such a win.

April: Daisy, Sweet Pea

Who else gets stoked when April rolls in, promising brighter days and warmer nights? Daisies and sweet peas are so on brand for this month with their light, carefree mood. Daisies symbolize hope, purity, and innocence — basically the emblem of all things wholesome. Sweet peas bring bliss, loyalty, and total honesty to the party, keeping everything real.

May: Lily of the Valley, Hawthorn

Lily of the valley and hawthorn are May’s flowers, and they’re out here doing the most to bring on the happiness. Lily of the valley reps warmth coming back, total joy, and redemption (and royal brides love them, so obviously we do too). Hawthorn brings its A-game with fertility symbolism and hope so strong, it’ll have you dreaming big 365 days a year.

June: Rose, Honeysuckle

Roses and honeysuckles are here to remind us that sweetness is a total mood this month. Roses, forever the queen of romance (they’ve earned it), symbolize love in every form — from that heart-racing passion to steady devotion, with colors spelling it all out. Honeysuckles keep it delicious with happiness, new love energy, and all the affection. What a great mood for a great month!

July: Larkspur, Water Lily

Larkspur and water lilies are the dream team of blooms; their balance is next level. Larkspur brings sincerity, grace, and positivity, all wrapped up in youthful energy that gives us major summer nostalgia. Water lilies, on the other hand, are like the wise elders of the garden, repping enlightenment and rebirth with total chill. Can you even imagine a more perfect pairing?

August: Gladiolus, Poppy

Let’s be honest — gladiolus and poppies are simply gorgeous, but there’s so much more going on. Gladiolus, or sword lilies (yes, they’re as fierce as they sound), symbolize courage, honor, and integrity. Meanwhile, poppies bring a softer mood with peace, remembrance, and dreams tied into their meaning. (And if you remember Elphaba’s poppy magic in Wicked, you totally get the sleep and dreams connection.)

September: Aster, Morning Glory

September’s got some serious star power with asters and morning glories in the mix. Asters are basically celestial queens (their name literally means stars), symbolizing wisdom, love, and faithfulness — such a wholesome combo. Morning glories are up with the sunrise, blooming early and serving major carpe diem realness. But heads up, their beauty’s here for a good time, not a long time.

October: Marigold, Cosmo

Mystical mood? Marigolds and cosmos have it on lock, literally perfect for spooky season. Marigolds bring passion, joy, wealth, and a link to the beyond — the ideal fall flower when the veil is thin. Cosmos balance it all out with their calm energy, all while giving us that same otherworldly connection to the cosmos. Blooms that inspire your imagination? These two understand the assignment.

November: Chrysanthemum, Peony

Chrysanthemums and peonies are total showstoppers — gorgeous, classy, and impossible to ignore (and we’re 100 percent obsessed). Mums, the OG fall flower, are out here spreading positivity, loyalty, and the spirit of long-life. Peonies, the royalty of the flower world, are all about love, abundance, and a little extra healing magic. Together, they’re a 24/7 good fortune guarantee.

December: Holly, Narcissus

Festive season is in full swing, and holly and narcissus are stepping up to represent! Holly doesn’t need petals to slay; those red berries are the definition of seasonal perfection. It’s giving optimism, protection, and all the cheer we need. Narcissus come through with hope and self-love energy, which feels so right as we wrap up the year.
