Did you know your birth flower isn’t just pretty — it’s loaded with meaning! These blooms are essentially floral mirrors reflecting your vibe and buzzing with the essence of your birth month. Back in the Victorian era, people used flowers to send secret messages (basically, the first emojis), showing how powerful their symbolism can be. At Bice’s Florist in Fort Worth, Texas, we’re here to give you all the deets on what your birth flower says about you, its seasonal connections, and why it’s perfect representative of its time of year.

January: Carnation, Snowdrop

Carnations and snowdrops are ideal for kicking off a fresh year full of potential. Carnations stand for love, admiration, and affection — with colors that totally speak their own language (red for romance, pink for motherly love, you get the idea). Snowdrops are the OG flower of hope and new beginnings. These trailblazers are the first to pop through the snow, showing us how to get it done.

February: Violet, Iris

Violets and irises are February’s way of adding some much-needed color to the winter blahs (thank you, flowers!). Violets are the bringers of loyalty, truth, and deep devotion — the perfect way to say, “I got you, always.” Meanwhile, irises stand for wisdom, faith, and that transformative energy that makes you feel like you can take on the world.

March: Daffodil, Jonquil

Daffodils and jonquils are straight-up perfect spring flowers — new starts and all the fresh feels that come with them. Daffodils bring big rebirth and renewal energy, plus a side of optimism, which tracks since they’re among the first blooms (overachievers? Maybe a little, but not as hardcore as snowdrops). Jonquils are all about sunshine, affection, and just a little bit of spice. Bonus: both flowers rep prosperity, and who wouldn’t want a bit more of that?

April: Daisy, Sweet Pea

April might be all about the showers, but let’s give a shoutout to its flowers! Daisies and sweet peas totally bring next-level sweetness to the scene. Daisies rep innocence, purity, and hope — plus, they’re the ultimate secret-keepers (daisies never spill the tea). Sweet peas, on the other hand, symbolize bliss, friendship, and loyalty — and they’re not shy about keeping it real 24/7!

May: Lily of the Valley, Hawthorn

Lily of the valley and hawthorn are total joy bringers, making May feel like a fresh take on life. Lily of the valley stands for redemption, joy, and the return of sunny days (and let’s just admit it, it’s no wonder royal brides are obsessed — they’re so classy). Hawthorn is the original symbol of hope and fertility, which fits right in with all the May Day magic.

June: Rose, Honeysuckle

Roses and honeysuckles are broadcasting romance at max volume — we’re talking turned up to 11! Indeed, roses are the undisputed champs of love, symbolizing passion, beauty, and devotion (and every color tells a different love story, how cool is that?). Honeysuckles? They’re serving happiness, affection, and sweet new romance with their dreamy, nectar-filled blossoms. June babies, y’all hit the jackpot!

July: Larkspur, Water Lily

It’s peak summer all the way when larkspur and water lilies make their grand entrance! Larkspur brings positivity, grace, and all the youthful energy — making us totally nostalgic for old school summer fun. Water lilies, on the other hand, are deep thinkers, repping enlightenment and rebirth in so many cultures. Clearly, July babies are living their best life with this perfect mix of vibrance and wisdom.

August: Gladiolus, Poppy

Gladiolus and poppies are loaded with symbolism, but they bring it in different ways. Gladiolus (or sword lilies, because they’re basically warriors) stand tall as symbols of strength, honor, and victory. Meanwhile, poppies bring the qualities of peace, remembrance, and hope — but they also have a chill side, repping sleep and dreams. (Yep, think back to The Wizard of Oz. Same energy.)

September: Aster, Morning Glory

What’s up, fall? Asters and morning glories are here to represent! Asters, those literal stars of the flower world, rep wisdom, love, and faith — a little reminder to stay smart and sparkle like the night sky (so dreamy, right?). Morning glories bring the promise of renewal, encouraging us to chase the day’s potential while reminding us that time flies — catch those blooms before they’re gone!

October: Marigold, Cosmo

Marigolds and cosmos? These flowers are steeped in symbolism. Marigolds bring so much to the table — from passion and happiness to abundance and even a connection with the afterlife (basically the life of the party and the afterparty). Cosmos balance it all out with their chill, harmonious energy while also giving us that “linked to the universe” magic for spooky season.

November: Chrysanthemum, Peony

Chrysanthemums and peonies are total icons with their flawless petal patterns. Mums, the reigning queens of fall, speak of longevity, fidelity, and just the right amount of joy to brighten the season. Peonies, on the other hand, are luxury in bloom form, repping love, abundance, and major good feels. Together, these flowers are messengers of good fortune and feel-good futures.

December: Holly, Narcissus

Holly and narcissus are serving major goodness — exactly what we need for the winter holidays! Holly’s all about protection, positivity, and spreading festive cheer (even without petals, those berries are iconic). Narcissus, on the flip side, bring hope and self-love energy — so on point for your “new year, new me” goals. They’re awesome blooms for rebirth and fresh starts as the year wraps up.
