Have some snowdrops added to your carnation arrangement and, magically, you have the perfect birthday flower arrangement.

Common flowers associated with the month of February are flowers that are purple in hue.  This is due to the fact that the gemstone associated with February is the amethyst: a lavender or dark purple stone.  Thus, both violets and purple irises are associated with February.  Additionally, if you are not happy with the color purple, you can find a variety of irises in a number of hues including blue, brown, white, and even yellow!

The blooms related to the month of March are often the Daffodil.  Daffodils are typical blooms associated with the spring, and the most common color daffodils are those that possess a vibrant yellow color.  However, if you don’t desire yellow daffodils, you can always talk to the florist to see if they offer daffodils in orange, pink, or white.
