Beautiful flowers for every birth month

Have you ever checked out your birth flower? Every month has a flower – sometimes two – 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 symbolising love and affection, comes to life in a variety of colours, making it a beautiful choice for January's birth flower. Take that and pair it with the small white snowdrop representing hope and rebirth, and these two flowers paint a picture of January babies: loving and hopeful.

February: Violets and Primroses

February is the month of love, making the multicoloured primrose an amazing choice 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

One of the first flowers to bloom in March is the daffodil, which represents 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 customisable display that will be sure to brighten your home year-round.

April: Daisies and Sweet Peas

April's daisies come in all colours, each with a different meaning. White represents purity and innocence, yellow brings friendship and happiness, pink represents affection and red symbolises 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 customisable display.

May: Lilies of the Valley and Hawthorns

The lily of the valley and the hawthorn are late bloomers, bringing with them the warmth of the hotter 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 June is associated with love and affection, making the iconic red rose a perfect choice for the month'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 (gypsophila) to make a stunning arrangement of this classic floral beauty.

July: Larkspur and Water Lilies

Nature can be quite vibrant, and larkspur and water lilies are no exception. 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 honour. It's also a symbol of moral character and intelligence, traits cherished in August babies. The brightly coloured poppy, on the other hand, symbolises 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 early September, making the month their natural partner. The multicoloured 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 vibrant colours, 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 flowers, the delicate white, pink and yellow cosmos, bring balance and order.

November: Chrysanthemums and Peonies

It’s no exaggeration to say that chrysanthemums are stunning. These hardy flowers can be found in a variety of beautiful, warm colours 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 earlier in the year, the paperwhites come much later, making them a perfect companion for December. The 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 colours 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 plant. This customisable wall or table decoration is a beautiful way to celebrate the end of the year season. Create your own combination of red, blue and white berries, orange slices, cinnamon and pinecones. Place them among the rich green foliage to make the perfect centrepiece.
