Customers frequently ask what is the flower-of the month , or what is the USA state flower or what is the gemstone of the month, all necessary questions if you're planning a special birthday or wedding gift. If you've already considered the flower meanings, you might want to skip over to the Flower Council's floral mood meter to see what inspires. Otherwise, this chart is to help you with the specifics of flower and/or gemstone-of the month.We've listed both the zodiac-inspired flower choice and the traditional flower of the month. Now you know why colour-coding flowers to meaning and to birth month is such a discretionary thing!
