A birthday brings family and friends together. A day filled with gifts and cake and ice cream. Add something special to your next family birthday by giving flowers with a special meaning.
Everyone loves getting flowers. And when the gift of flowers comes with a meaning or symbolism it makes them all the more special.
Celebrating a birthday with a birth flower associated with a birth month is a tradition that began in ancient Rome. The specific flower and color was associated with the month they were most abundant and the meaning for each flower was derived from mythological legend.
