You know your zodiac sign, your birthstone, maybe even your enneagram—but did you know you also have a birth flower? Yep, flowers have been speaking our language since the Victorian Era, when people used them to send secret messages (low-key the original emojis). Each birth flower is packed with symbolism that matches the vibe of its month and those born in it. At Campbell’s Flowers, the best florist in Pueblo, we’re here to spill all the floral tea on the hidden meanings behind your birth flowers.

January: Carnation, Snowdrop

Starting the year off right means having the perfect birth flowers—cue carnations and snowdrops. Carnations bring all the love and admiration vibes, and their colors even have different meanings (red = steamy romance, pink = mom’s endless love). Then there’s the snowdrop, the first brave little bloom to pop through winter’s frost, symbolizing major new beginnings and hope. Iconic.

February: Violet, Iris

February’s birth flowers are serving romance and personal development. Violets stand for deep devotion and honesty, making them the perfect love-month bloom. Irises bring the wisdom and transformation energy, proving that true love (and life) is all about growing together.

March: Daffodil, Jonquil

March is when the world starts waking up, and its birth flowers get it. Daffodils represent rebirth, optimism, and the ultimate fresh-start. Jonquils add warmth, love, and a little bit of “butterflies in your stomach” anticipation—because new beginnings should always feel exciting!

April: Daisy, Sweet Pea

April might just be the sweetest month ever, and its birth flowers totally match. Daisies symbolize hope, innocence, and low-key secret-keeping skills (yep, they’ve got a mysterious side). Sweet peas bring truth (they’re here to spill the tea), loyalty, and that pure, happy energy that makes spring feel so blissful.

May: Lily of the Valley, Hawthorn

May’s birth flowers aren’t just beautiful—they’re royal-approved. Lily of the valley, carried by actual royal brides, symbolizes joy, redemption, and the return of warmth (did someone say “spring glow-up”?). Hawthorn, the perfect bloom for May’s big celebrations, like graduations and Mother’s Day, is a symbol of hope and fertility.

June: Rose, Honeysuckle

June’s birth flowers are basically the most romantic playlist in bloom form. Roses symbolize deep love, passion, and beauty (no wonder they’re a favorite worldwide). Honeysuckles bring that new-love giddiness, happiness, and affection—because June babies are always in their lover era.

July: Larkspur, Water Lily

July babies, your flowers totally match the height of summer vibe—equal parts fun and wise. Larkspur symbolizes youthfulness, positivity, and grace. Water lilies bring deep meaning with their ties to rebirth and enlightenment. It’s the ultimate floral combo for living in the moment while also growing into your best self.

August: Gladiolus, Poppy

Gladiolus and poppies represent two sides of the same coin—one is all about fighting spirit, the other about peaceful reflection. Gladiolus, with its sword-like shape, is literally named after gladiators and symbolizes strength, honor, and victory. Meanwhile, poppies remind us to slow down and dream big, representing peace, remembrance, and the beauty of the unknown.

September: Aster, Morning Glory

Your birth flowers perfectly mirror the September spirit. Asters symbolize love, faith, and wisdom, reminding you to trust your heart and your instincts while shining like the brightest stars in the sky. Morning glories bring renewal and the excitement of fresh possibilities—because every day is a chance to live life to the fullest.

October: Marigold, Cosmo

October’s birth flowers are pretty legendary for spooky season. Marigolds symbolize passion, wealth, joy, and a connection to the afterlife (no wonder they’re a Día de los Muertos staple). Cosmos, with their delicate petals and celestial energy, bring balance and a sense of cosmic wonder.

November: Chrysanthemum, Peony

November babies, your flowers symbolize strong, lasting relationships — something we can always be thankful for. Chrysanthemums represent loyalty, longevity, friendships, and happiness that never fades— good relationships are everything. Peonies are symbols of healing, prosperity, abundance, and happiness in marriage — a meaningful addition to wedding blooms.

December: Holly, Narcissus

December birth flowers are basically the life of the holiday party. Holly brings serious festive cheer, symbolizing joy, positivity, and protection (even if it’s technically a berry). Narcissus is all about hope and self-love, reminding you to step into the new year with confidence. Both blooms signify renewal and rebirth –a perfect sugway into the new year.

Birth flowers aren’t just pretty—they tell a story. At Campbell’s Flowers, we’re always ready to help you speak the language of flowers with stunning and symbolic birthday bouquets.
