February, the month of love and romance, is represented by two beautiful blooms: the iris and the violet.
The Iris – A Symbol of Hope and Wisdom
The iris, with its bold and striking appearance, has been admired for centuries. Named after the Greek goddess Iris, who was believed to connect heaven and earth, this flower symbolizes hope, wisdom, and communication. Its elegant petals come in a variety of colours, but purple irises are particularly popular, representing royalty and respect.
If your birthday falls in February, the iris embodies your ability to inspire others and bring clarity to challenging situations. It’s the perfect flower to represent the thoughtful and visionary spirit of this month.
The Violet – A Sign of Loyalty and Humility
The violet, with its charming and delicate blooms, holds deep meanings of loyalty, humility, and faithfulness. In Victorian floriography, violets were often exchanged as a symbol of everlasting love and devotion.
February’s second birth flower also represents modesty and the quiet strength of those who persevere through life’s challenges. The violet reminds us that beauty and grace often bloom in unexpected places.

January: Carnation and Snowdrop
For those born in the chilly month of January, two flowers stand out: the carnation and the snowdrop. Each of these flowers carries unique meanings that reflect the spirit of the season and the people born under its influence.
The Carnation
Carnations, with their frilly petals and wide array of colours, are one of the most recognizable flowers. Their meanings vary depending on their hue:
• Red carnations symbolize love, admiration, and affection.
• Pink carnations are often associated with gratitude and a mother's undying love.
• White carnations signify purity, innocence, and luck.
The carnation’s scientific name, Dianthus, translates to "flower of the gods," emphasizing its timeless beauty and significance. This flower also represents resilience and enduring love, qualities often associated with those born in January.
The Snowdrop
The delicate snowdrop, often the first flower to bloom as winter transitions to spring, is a symbol of hope and renewal. Its pristine white petals evoke a sense of purity and optimism. Snowdrops remind us that even in the harshest conditions, beauty and strength can emerge.
You will notice our window display also features La Chic Designs this month, who create unique 3D cast print keepsakes of hands, feet, and paws for babies to adults and pets! Head over to their page to find further information. ... See MoreSee Less
