What is the Flower for January Birthday ?

January is the first month of the year. Usually, this period leaves a feeling of hope for happy moments in the new 12-month-cycle. Not only that, but also during this time many people start new adventures and activities so they can improve themselves. Likewise, the babies born in the 1st month are mostly with a mindset of determination and believe that it is not too late to start a new journey! And due to those common traits in the people born early in the year, there is a flower that represents both the month and those men and women! Certainly, a best suited present for them would be charming carnations - the so called flower of January!

 

So if you have a friend or relative who has their birthday in January, then you absolutely should send them a glorious bouquet of carnations. This plant has been preferred since ancient times. There are also many legends about this magnificent flower. According to one of them, the flower sprouted at the place where one of the arrows of the unhappily in love goddess Artemis fell. According to another, the carnation is in the same colors in which the highest peak in Mount Olympus in Greece is colored at sunrise and sunset. A third legend says that it was the favorite flower of the ancient Greek gods and also the Latin name of the carnation is “Dianthus” or “the bloom of the gods.” 

 

Wouldn’t it be great to surprise a loved one with the flower that even the gods desire?

Carnations are the seasonal flowers of January and it is believed that they would bring only happiness to the person who has them. Also, for Goethe, the flower was the epitome of friendship and resilience. And this meaning has been held for many years. On the other hand, in some countries, carnation is now used as the most appropriate flower with which the lover shows his feelings to a girl. Elsewhere, there is a tradition for ladies to receive bouquets of either carnations or mimosas for their birthdays.

 

Indeed, this is a very old plant and for a long time its colors have particular meanings:

 

  • Red carnations are a symbol of sincere love - we highly recommend sending a sweet red bouquet of carnations to a very special person! Undoubtedly, The You're Precious Bouquet or The Cherry Sweet Bouquet can make a stunning birthday gift!
  • Pink carnations speak of strong bond and adoration. This rather soft color is well used in Pink Dream Bouquet. Surely, such a gift will portray your sincere feelings towards the recipient!
  • White carnations represent anticipation with hope. Even though some think that white is not a color for birthday arrangement, we would like to prove them wrong. White it’s not a color of emptiness, it is actually a combination of all colors - a mix of emotions. To show you our point, take a look at  The Sweet & Pretty Bouquet!
