What is the history of birth flowers?
The history of the birth flower can be traced To Roman times. There, flowers were offered to the gods and given as gifts on birthdays.
Those flowers, of course, had to be pickable at that time, and so over time the birth month became associated with a flower. In addition, some properties were eventually attributed to flowers.
With the increased popularity of the fine line technique in recent years, tattooing delicate flowers has therefore become very trendy.
The different birth flowers
January: carnation and snowdrop
The first month of the year we decide on the carnation. This birth flower symbolizes wonder, deep love, affection, purity, happiness and gratitude.
A second possibility is the snowflake. It often peeps out of the snow as the first flower, which is why we associate hope, rebirth and love with that birth flower.
February: violet and iris
One of the coldest months brings us the violet symbol of spiritual wisdom, modesty, faithfulness and humility.
Another topper is the iris, which represents exuberant character, faith and wisdom.
March: Daffodils and Jonquils
March brings us the daffodil which also represents hope, as well as rebirth and rejuvenation.
In turn, jonquils is characteristic of innocence, strength and expressiveness.
