February is the iris or violet
March is the daffodil
April is daisies or peonies
May is the lily
June is the classic rose
July is the delphinium
August is dahlia or gladiola
September is the aster
October is marigold
November the Chrysanthemum
December… not surprising, is the poinsettia

One thing I’ve noticed while working at the flower shop over the years and doing my research is that the meanings for most flowers differentiates depending on where you are getting your information. Remember not everything you read on the internet is true!
My suggestion….Go from the heart! Include a couple of the flowers that their meanings are suitable for the occasion and a couple of their birth flower (if in season) but most important- think of the recipient and what they would like. What would look great on their dining room table, make them smile or make them want to plant a big kiss on you after you hand over the flowers.
That’s what giving the gift of flowers is all about!
