The best birthday flowers match the person: bright and bold for someone outgoing, soft and pretty for a romantic, or their birth-month bloom for a personal touch. A birthday bouquet should feel like it was chosen for them, not pulled off a shelf, here is how we help you get it right.
Birth-month flowers
Like birthstones, every month has its own flower. Working one into the design is a small detail that makes a birthday gift feel considered.

| January | Carnation |
| February | Iris & violet |
| March | Daffodil |
| April | Daisy & sweet pea |
| May | Lily of the valley |
| June | Rose |
| July | Larkspur & delphinium |
| August | Gladiolus & poppy |
| September | Aster |
| October | Marigold & cosmos |
| November | Chrysanthemum |
| December | Narcissus & holly |
Choose by personality
- The bold one: vivid color and big blooms, sunflowers, dahlias, hot-pink garden roses.
- The romantic: blush and ivory, soft textures, plenty of roses and ranunculus.
- The minimalist: a single variety in one color, arranged simply and cleanly.
- The plant lover: a garden-style mix full of texture, or a lasting potted bloom.
Add a little occasion
Birthdays are a chance to be generous with color. Where a sympathy arrangement calls for restraint, a birthday welcomes coral, gold and bright pink. If you are shipping the surprise to a home or office in Boston, we can time the delivery and tuck in a handwritten card so it lands at the right moment.
