Every month of the year has its own birth flower, and with it a language of flowers — a quiet vocabulary of meaning that people have attached to blooms for centuries. This collection pairs each month with its traditional flower, the sentiment that flower has long carried, and the personality traits it is said to reflect in those born under it. Think of it as a gentle, seasonal mirror rather than a fixed rule. Find your birth month below to meet your flower and the qualities tradition ties to it.
A flower said to stand for strength of character, sincerity, and steadfast conviction.
Like the gladiolus that raises its flowers one upon another along a straight stem, you who are born this month are seen as one with a strong will and an upright conviction. Resembling its sword-like long, firm leaves, a decisiveness that pushes a chosen matter through to the end is said to form your nature. That unshakable spirit is believed to become a dependable support for those around you.
In love, you are said to be one who loves with a true and steadfast heart. You dislike light words or wavering promises, and you build relationships on a deep, firm trust. Yet because strong conviction can at times appear as stubbornness, leaving room to gently accept a partner's differing thoughts will, it is advised, deepen your love. Where strength meets flexibility, a relationship grows firmest.
Looking at your work and talents, you are seen as one with the drive and sense of responsibility not to retreat even before a difficult goal. Like the gladiolus that blooms its flowers upward step by step, your achievements too are said to stack in turn upon steady effort. When calming your mind, set down for a while the burden of always having to be strong. A strength that pauses to rest is believed to be the strength that endures the longest.
