August birth month flower is; Gladiola
Oh the glorious Gladiola! What a bright, vivacious and large joyful flower! My Nana sure loved her gladiolas and I guess it was no coincidence her name was Gladys. There is no dark side to a Gladdy. When in doubt, send these joyous and colourful blooms to ensure happiness!

November birth month flower is; Chrysanthemum.
The literal meaning is “golden flower” our dear ‘mums have undergone much metamorphoses over the years and can be found in hundreds of colours and varieties. A popular decorative fall plant it also means love, deep passion and longevity.

We associate Holly with December because of its shiny, dark green leaves and bright red berries, Holly, which is more of a shrub than a flower, is also a hearty, pretty plant that symbolizes domestic bliss!
