Think flowers are just for looks? Think again! Your birth flower is like a botanical biography, bursting with meaning about you and the people in your birth month crew. Fun fact: back in the Victorian era, flowers were used for secret messages (kinda like sliding into DMs but using flowers instead of emojis). At Flowers by Coley in Las Vegas, Nevada, we’re dishing out everything you need to know — from what your birth flower represents to how it fits into the season and your vibe.

January: Carnation, Snowdrop

Carnations and snowdrops straight up set the tone for all your January goals and dreams. Carnations = love and admiration, with colors like red bringing serious romance and pink delivering pure, motherly love (so sweet). Snowdrops? They’re blazing the trail with hope, pushing through the snow as if to say, “Fresh beginnings, anyone?” We’re obsessed with this determination!

February: Violet, Iris

Let’s face it, February can be pretty blah (so dreary), but violets and irises are here to save the day with their bold colors. Violets bring loyalty, truth, and total devotion to the table — they’re perfect for saying, “I’m here for you, no matter what.” And irises? They’re all about wisdom and transformation, giving you that “step into your power” memo.

March: Daffodil, Jonquil

Daffodils and jonquils are spring’s way of saying, “New season, new mood!” Daffodils send out renewal and rebirth energy, not to mention some serious optimism (early bloomers just have that flex and we’re not mad about it). Jonquils show up with warm affection, anticipation, and a touch of flirty desire. And the best part? Both flowers promise prosperity. Yes, please!

April: Daisy, Sweet Pea

Sure, April has its famous showers, but let’s not sleep on its pretty flowers. Daisies and sweet peas are stealing the spotlight this month. Daisies make sure it’s sweet with innocence, hope, and purity — plus, they’re legendary for keeping secrets (you can trust a daisy). Sweet peas are a little louder with their bliss, loyalty, and love for honesty (they might let something slip!).

May: Lily of the Valley, Hawthorn

Lily of the valley and hawthorn are bringing their A-game this May, with all the optimism and joy you need. Lily of the valley’s all about happiness, redemption, and sunnier days ahead (not to mention, it’s the flower royal brides must have). Hawthorn keeps it classic, symbolizing hope and fertility — perfect for May’s fresh and flourishing feel.

June: Rose, Honeysuckle

Roses and honeysuckles are here to bring all the love — seriously, their romance level = expert. Roses are classic for a reason, symbolizing beauty, passion, and devotion, and each color brings its own unique story. Honeysuckles 100 percent take the sweetness to another level, with their blossoms dripping nectar and fresh happiness. Seriously, June babies are living their best floral life.

July: Larkspur, Water Lily

You know it’s peak summer when lovely larkspur and pretty water lilies enter the chat. Larkspur brings sincerity, grace, and a shot of youthful energy (they’re the life of the party). Water lilies slow things down in the best way, standing for enlightenment and rebirth across many cultures. If you’re a July baby, congrats — your flowers are totally the perfect mix of fun and wisdom.

August: Gladiolus, Poppy

Gladiolus and poppies both have major symbolism, but they hit a little differently. Gladiolus, or sword lilies (the name already tells you the story, they mean business), stand for strength, honor, and victory. Poppies, though, are all about peace, remembrance, and hope — with a dreamy twist, literally. (Anyone else flashing back to the poppy field scene in The Wizard of Oz? It’s like that.)

September: Aster, Morning Glory

Say hey to fall and two of its brightest stars: asters and morning glories! Asters are all about wisdom, faith, and love, inspiring us to shine just like the twinkling stars they’re named after (so dreamy!). Morning glories, on the other hand, are pure carpe diem — full of renewal and potential but also a reminder to appreciate life’s fleeting, beautiful moments (blink and you miss it).

October: Marigold, Cosmo

Marigolds and cosmos are magical with their symbolism. Marigolds light things up with happiness, passion, prosperity, and even give us a bridge to the afterlife (a flower that does it all). Meanwhile, cosmos bring their calm, harmonious vibes and a cosmic connection that’s seriously on-brand for spooky season. These two blooms are serving major fall energy in more ways than one.

November: Chrysanthemum, Peony

Chrysanthemums and peonies are total class with their perfect petals and gorgeous patterns. Mums, the true queens of autumn, stand for fidelity, long life, and a sprinkle of happiness wherever they bloom. Peonies keep it luxe with love-filled, prosperous petals and a side of healing and compassion. They’re the friends you need, bringing all the good fortune your way.

December: Holly, Narcissus

Holly and narcissus are here to sprinkle all the fun festivity over the holiday season. Holly is your December MVP, repping protection, positivity, and cheer (who needs petals when the berries slay like that?). Narcissus = hope and self-love — ideal for manifesting your “new year, new me” plans. As a pair, they’re legit the best symbols of rebirth to close out the year right.
