Have you ever checked out your birth flower? Every month has a flower – sometimes 2 – closely associated with it, whether it's because that flower blooms beautifully during that month or because it holds a cultural significance. Let's take a closer look at the birth flowers by month, some of which are available in the LEGO® Botanicals collection, where your flowers bloom all year round.
January: Carnations and Snowdrops
The carnation, a stunning bloom symbolizing love and affection, comes to life in winter in a variety of colors, making it a perfect choice for January's birth flower. Take that and pair it with the small white snowdrop representing hope and rebirth, and these 2 flowers paint a picture of January babies: loving and hopeful.
February: Violets and Primroses
February is the month of love, making the multicolored primrose an amazing option for its birth month flower. The primrose and the vivid violet are said to embody the traits February babies are reputed to have: loyalty, love and modesty.
March: Daffodils
With March comes spring, and one of the first flowers to bloom is the daffodil. Daffodils represent what spring is all about: new beginnings and continued optimism. The LEGO® Daffodils (40747) set features two yellow and two white daffodils, each with green stems and adjustable leaves for a customizable display that will be sure to brighten your home year-round.
April: Daisies and Sweet Peas
April's daisies come in all colors, each with a different meaning. White represents purity and innocence, yellow brings friendship and happiness, pink represents affection and red symbolizes romance. Its companion, the sweet pea, is an icon of bliss and pleasure often associated with weddings and anniversaries.
The LEGO® Flower Bouquet (10280) includes several flowers, including daisies as well as roses, snapdragons, poppies, asters, and grasses. Several LEGO elements are made from a plant-based plastic, produced using sustainably sourced sugarcane. The stems also come in a variety of lengths, allowing for a unique and creative customizable display.
May: Lilies of the Valley and Hawthornes
The lily of the valley and the hawthorn are late spring bloomers, bringing with them the warmth of the summer months. The lily of the valley is a symbol of sweetness and joy, while the pink and white hawthorn represents the new beginnings of the upcoming season.
June: Roses and Honeysuckle
Early summer is associated with love and affection, making the iconic red rose a perfect choice for June's birth flower. And while it isn't as widely known, the white and soft pink honeysuckle is another symbol of these passionate feelings, creating a wonderful pair for June babies.
The LEGO® Bouquet of Roses (10328) includes 12 buildable red roses, featuring four in full bloom, four blooming, and four in bud. Each rose comes with a long green stem perfect for displaying in a vase as well as four white-flowered sprigs of brick-built baby’s breath to make a stunning arrangement of this classic floral beauty.
July: Larkspur and Water Lilies
Summer is vibrant, and so are larkspur and water lilies. The head-turning sapphire larkspur, in combination with the vivid white of the water lily, brings positivity and warm, sunny days. They represent the youthfulness and open hearts of people born in July.
The LEGO® Wildflower Bouquet (10313) features stunning brick-built wildflowers, including larkspurs as well as cornflowers, lavender, lupins, and others. Each has an adjustable stem, allowing budding florists and flower enthusiasts to create their own unique displays.
August: Gladioli and Poppies
August's tall gladiolus, like the mighty gladiator, represents strength, victory and honor. It's also a symbol of moral character and intelligence, traits cherished in August babies! The brightly colored poppy, on the other hand, symbolizes sleep and peace.
Those with August birthdays have two brick-built poppies to choose from! The LEGO® Wildflower Bouquet (10313) and the LEGO Flower Bouquet (10280) both feature different kinds of poppies. Both of these sets make beautiful, everlasting displays, or they can be combined into one incredible arrangement!
If you’re looking for even more forever-in-bloom flowers to celebrate an August birthday, the LEGO Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet (10342) features a beautiful peach waterlily dahlia, which represents positivity and creativity – making it a perfect gift for a friend!
September: Asters and Morning Glories
Asters and morning glories come to life in late summer and early fall, making September their natural partner. The multicolored aster means star and represents wisdom and justice, while the blue morning glory is symbolic of the month's crisp, dewy mornings.
Asters make an appearance in the LEGO® Flower Bouquet (10280), among other stunning blooms and grasses. Once these brick-built blooms are assembled, each adjustable stem can be placed in a vase to create a one-of-a-kind display piece to celebrate any September baby!
October: Marigolds and Cosmos
Orange marigolds, with their intense summer colors, are representative of the sun's strength and warmth. They're sturdy flowers, telling the world that October babies are strong and determined. October's secondary flower, the delicate white, pink and yellow cosmos, bring balance and order.
November: Chrysanthemums and Peonies
A sure sign of fall, it’s no exaggeration to say that chrysanthemums are stunning. These hardy flowers can be found in a variety of beautiful warm autumn colors and represent longevity and good luck.
The LEGO® Chrysanthemum (10368) set features posable leaves and petals to represent the vibrant orange flower at different stages: one in full bloom, one blossoming, and two in bud. This 278-piece building set includes a buildable plant pot and plinth, making for a lovely display to celebrate a November birthday.
The secondary birth flower of November is the peony, which represents prosperity and happiness. The LEGO Flower Arrangement (10345) includes 2 buildable peonies, among 12 other stunning flowers, making it the perfect birthday gift for anyone born in November!
December: Narcissi and Hollies
While most narcissi bloom in the spring, the paperwhites come with the winter, making them a perfect companion for December. Paperwhite narcissus and the red berries of holly make a striking pair. These plants are associated with rebirth and renewal, a sentiment on all our minds as we approach the beginning of a new year.
Bring the joyful red and green colors of a holly bough into your home with the LEGO® Wreath (10340). While this set doesn’t officially include holly, the red berries and spiky green leaves remind us of this iconic winter plant. This customizable wall or table decoration is a beautiful way to celebrate the fall and winter seasons.
