What’s My Birth Flower? The Story & Meaning Behind Each Month’s Bloom

Back to blog

Just like birthstones, each month is represented by a unique flower — each carrying its own distinct meaning and symbolism. From January’s hopeful snowdrop to December’s festive poinsettia, birth flowers offer a meaningful way to celebrate yourself, a loved one, or special milestones. Discover each month’s bloom and what it represents.

January’s Birth Flower: Snowdrop

The year begins with January’s birth flower — the snowdrop, symbolizing hope, renewal, and new beginnings. Its ability to endure the winter’s cold makes it a symbol of resilience for brighter days ahead.

Throughout history, the snowdrop has been cherished as a symbol of comfort and renewal — its bloom marking the arrival of spring. Once used in traditional herbal remedies, this delicate flower continues to bring joy today, reminding us that brighter days are always ahead.

Our Carved Snowdrop Cluster Necklace and Carved Snowdrop Drop Earrings celebrate the traits of those born in January — resilient and filled with positivity.

February’s Birth Flower: Violet

February’s birth flower is the violet, a small and delicate bloom symbolizing faithfulness, wisdom, and everlasting love. Its gentle beauty reflects the thoughtful and steadfast nature of those born in this month.

Violets have been cherished for centuries. In Ancient Greece, Persia, and Rome, they were celebrated as symbols of love and devotion. Napoleon Bonaparte famously carried violets in honor of his beloved Josephine, who adored them and even wore violets on their wedding day.

Our Carved Violet Necklace and Carved Violet Stud Earrings feature delicately hand-carved amethyst violets with a brilliant moissanite centre, paired with soft green peridot leaves. In line with the flower’s significance, amethyst — also February’s birthstone — represents inner strength, peace, and protection.

March’s Birth Flower: Daffodil

Daffodils are the birth flower for March and one of the first signs of spring. They represent new beginnings, renewal, and hope — a fitting symbol for anyone celebrating a birthday this month or going through a fresh start.

April’s Birth Flower: Daisy & Tulip
