Their birth, their month, their flower, their day.
Birth month flowers can be the answer you're looking for when you want to heighten the mood of the celebration of your favorite loved one's birthday.
When giving flowers to someone, we usually just quickly pick a bouquet that we think is pretty; it's appropriate to give flowers. They have a wonderful ability to stop you in your tracks and...well...make you smell the flowers.
Be knowledgeable in your birthday flower decisions. Birth month flowers are the perfect start. Surprise them with a bouquet of their birth flower, especially if the live ones are available. Or give it as a potted plant ready for tender care in their garden (if they're into that). Or give flowers made from silk or tin cans or duct tape...whatever you find as the best way to interpret your friend or loved one's birthday greeting with flowers.
They will be awestruck that you have this knowledge associated with their birthday. And friends at the party will start asking you if you know what their birth flower is. (At least that's what happened to me.) Better yet, I made a mental note about these friends of mine and along with their next present or birthday wishes, they will be adorned with the birth flower they fall under.
Carnation Birth Month Flowers
***************Go Unique GIFT IDEAS***************
A carnation crown for a little girl's birthday. Be that wonderful relative who comes to the party and your present to the
Princess of the day is a crown of flowers that are HER flowers, her birth month flowers.
Can't you just imagine how special she'll feel with this very personal crown? You can make it yourself or ask your florist to use a little magic; ribbon weaving or a set of play jewelry to hold it all together can add the perfect touch.Your thoughtfulness will go down in that girl's history the very moment she's crowned for the day at the ceremony celebrating her birth.
Your Mother's birthday. Give carnations three times; a few days before her birthday when she won't be expecting them and tell her you admire her, the day of her birthday to celebrate the day of her birth, and a few days after to celebrate how much you truly do love her as a mother - an extra Mother's day. Three surprises. Just think how special she'll feel knowing that you set aside time to do this for her. Make the 3 bouquets part of a set. Carnations last up to 2 weeks so she'll be reminded about your love for her 3-fold!
Snowdrop Birth Month Flowers

With a snowdrop bouquet, give snowflake jewelry - snowflakes are each a unique masterpiece of Nature floating down from heaven to become snowdrop flowers on earth. The receiver of these is also unique. Young girls/women can be told they are a masterpiece from heaven.
Born in January, a child or teen birthday is a celebration and end to a long wait for them to be born just as how we want winter to end and spring to begin. Snowdrop flowers symbolize this.
Know anyone with Hope in their full name born in January? The snowdrop can be the flower of hope; snowflakes falling in January are the precursors of Spring.
Have any skiers, snowboarders, sledders, love-to-play-in-the-snow players in your life? Nickname them "Snow Piercer" and give them snowdrop flowers with a gift suited for them.

Soliloquy
****GIFT IDEAS****
I have a Hawthorn tree in my yard, and since embarking on my journey of birth flowers, I was just delighted to learn about this tree and the history behind it;
the most pleasant of all was my becoming aware of the religious significance it holds. Rather than giving my girlfriend a Lily of the Valley bouquet for her birthday, I trimmed off a few of the branches and fashioned a 'Crown of Thorns' for her which I showed her my admiration of her and the strength she holds in her faith.

Birth Month Flowers Honeysuckle
***************Go Unique GIFT IDEAS***************
Honeysuckle can be given to a gardener who is gives their harvest to those in need. It will be a reminder to this gardener of their generosity. The plant can be given to those who love nature and want to create a haven for hummingbirds or butterflies. Great way to encourage a nature photographer by creating the opportunities for great photos right in their back yard.
Give this plant (tree) to a cat lover (but only if they have a yard to plant it in). It's effects are similar to catnip.
Some trivia for you:
In 1879, naturalist Charles Darwin wrote a letter to a colleague in which he wondered about the seemingly sudden appearance of flowering plants (angiosperms) in a world that had previously known only gymnosperms (plants with exposed seeds, such as conifers). And it is a mystery that has largely persisted to this day.
Botanically speaking, angiosperms means plants that flower and they represent the most advanced condition among all the plants of the earth. Over 130 million years ago, their mystifying appearance and diversification (to at least 300,000 species) forced Darwin to state “The rapid rise and early diversification of angiosperms is an abominable mystery.”
Abominable is quite the word for a description, especially if you consider how breathtakingly beautiful flowers are, very much the opposite. Mysterious? To the regular joe or joeleen, yes. Abominable? Only to botanists seeking understanding and origin.
When you gift someone with their birth flower for their color or meaning, make sure you let your gift recipient know why you gave them the way you did. It adds that much more meaning to the flower for creating lasting memories.
Although flowers don't last forever, it shows you want to celebrate the moment in its immediacy...right now....because birthdays are only one day of the year.
And now, when you give the flowers, you will be able to say so much more. Include a card with these flowers. Give your sentiments about these birth month flowers and why they represent that person and the month they are born in.
They'll love you for the fact that you gave them the flowers and birth month flowers at that! Now, make it more memorable by also letting them know how much you know about them - their birth month flower and any legends, myths or stories that are associated with them.
Now that's paying attention to who they are! And relating the flowers to who that person is!
