Here's a fun link from the National Garden Club, Inc.
​

In the New Year, start a new tradition of presenting a family member or friend with the Flower for the Month they were born. Here is a list to help you get started, January is Carnation, February is Iris, March is Daffodil, April is Daisy, May is Lily of the Valley, June is the Rose, July is Larkspur, August is Gladiolus, September is Aster, October is Marigold, November is Chrysanthemum, and December is Poinsettia. If the recipient has limited space, some of these flowers can be grown in pots to put on a deck or patio or can be given as cut flowers. It is a great way to encourage others to get into gardening.
