Birth Flowers and Birthstones by Month and Star Sign

Violets are February's Birth Month flower.

The Violet is February's Birth Flower - sweet purple blooming house plants.
We don't carry these as standard from our grower yet (but we always have African Violet plants on Mothers Day), but if you order in advance we are happy to get some in for you. Please call Jo (that's me!) direct on 09 838 9058 if you would like to discuss some Violet options.

For your February birthday delivery - I would suggest a gorgeous purple flower bouquet. It's a good time of year for purple flowers like lisianthus, statice, maines blue, gladioli, chrysanthemums and even purple roses. Please do order in advance to ensure we have a good selection of purple blooms to make up your birthday flowers.

Daffodil or Narcissus are March's Birth Month flower.

The Narcissus family is the birth flower for March. (Daffodils, Earlicheer, Jonquils)
Please note - the traditional birth flowers are related to the Northern Hemisphere.

Sadly daffodils are not in season in N.Z. in March - we tend to see them through the flower auctions in late April, early May. Perhaps we could make a Pisces Birthday gift for you in the lovely aquamarine shades of blue. Blue flowers can be few and far between in a flower shop, but Blue iris, Blue statice, and Belladonna will still be in season for your blue bouquet. We also stock delicious Solid chocolate fish for your pisces! ;)

If we add a pizzaz of yellow to represent the Narcissus - Our Sunshine Bouquet would fit the job perfectly! Just tell us in the Notes to Florists section of your order if you would like to include Blue.

Daisies are April's Birth Month flower.

The sweet, charming daisy is the birth flower for April.
A contrast indeed to the Birthstone for the month of April!

Daisies and Diamonds - I think that's a perfect combination! :)
We could perhaps design you a beautiful white bouquet for your April birthday gift, include daisy chrysanthemums and accessorise with a touch of bling. (faux of course!)

Lily of the Valley are May's Birth Month flower.

Lily of the Valley is the traditional Northern Hemisphere flower for May. Sadly this beautiful delicate scented flower blooms in NZ for 3 weeks in October only - a very short season!

But Emeralds... hmmm there's an inspiration - a pretty white and green bouquet in green wrapping.

Roses are June's Birth Month flower.

The Rose is the birth flower for June
Available in many colours, here I have shown a beautiful ivory rose to compliment the birthstone of Pearl for June.

We usually do have white cream roses in stock fresh from our local rose growers. We even have beautiful pearl pins to accentuate the centre of your roses to create a perfect June Birthday flower bouquet. We would make this bespoke for you so please call us on 09 838 9058 to order yours.

The Tulip is the birth flower for July.

There is also mentioned Larkspur and water lily which are not so commonly available in N.Z. in July as they are summer flowers.

Tulips are definitely available in July - its a perfect time of year to enjoy them and bring a touch of spring inside to cheer the winter months. I love tulips they're a personal favourite and come in so many colours.

Order tulips in a lovely colour assortment and we'll do the rest. Our favourite ruby red tulips are "Il de France".

The Poppy is the birth flower for August.

The Poppy is one of the traditional birth flowers for August. You will also see listed Gladiolis on some reference sites.

Sadly its a bit early for Poppies here in New Zealand to create a Leo birthday surprise, but perhaps a colourful gerbera bouquet might be a good substitute?

The Aster is the birth flower for September.

Colourful bright Asters are the birth flower for the month of September.
Again, here in New Zealand this is a little early for Asters (a summer bloom), but the chrysanthemum is a very good substitute, and sapphire blue could be incorporated with lovely blue wrapping of your birthday gift.

The Calendula is the birth flower for October.

Calendulas, Marigolds or Cosmos are the traditional birth flowers for October.
I can't help but think of orange flowers when I think of Marigolds, and although these are not a common sight in the florist shop, we can make a beautiful orange bouquet for you. Order our florists choice - make sure you tell us in the notes to florist section that you would like orange flowers and you can trust us to make something gorgeous for your Libra birthday present.

The Chrysanthemum is the birth flower for November.

The Chrysanthemum is the traditional birth flower for the month of November
Chrysanthemums are a florists staple bloom. Long-lasting flowers that will bloom for 2 weeks in your vase. Available in a wide-range of colours and perhaps a bouquet in those golden shades of the citrine birthstone for November would make a lovely birthday delivery surprise for your Scorpio.

The Holly or Poinsettia is the birth flower for December.

Holly or Poinsettia are the traditional birth flowers for this festive month of December.
Poinsettias are a beautiful red houseplant that is readily available in December - making it the perfect birthday and Christmas gift all in one!
