I enjoyed your article on birth flowers. I especially liked the meanings associated with different flowers. The picture that went with larkspur looked more like the perennial delphinium. I grow both flowers in my garden here in Wyoming. Larkspurs are more of a wild flower and are shorter. I plan on reading your other articles. The one on blogs was helpful since I'm a newbie to Dave's Garden and am just exploring the possibilities.
yes, very nice to learn the sybolic meanings of different flowers.
would love to grow my "May" flower, Lily of the Valley, but find various references about it being poisonous if ingested; although no actual verified cases to substantiate?
Adesgarden, I wonder if one of those pics isn't a delphinium...I might have just entered them synomymously in my head. I'll have to check.
Allwild, I don't know if your problem would be poison of the L of the V, it might be more likely the heat that would make growing them difficult. They dissappear here about July because of heat and reappear in spring. But I don't know your exact climate...but I grew up in Houston and I don't think it'd be possible there.
Although I should probably have issues about the absense of dahlias :( I just luv birth flowers. I'm a May baby and I have a sweep of L of V growing at the foundation on the north side of the house Thanks Susanne. Another great article.
Nice article, but I learned them a little differently. For instance, April's flower is the sweet pea, and October has anemone or cosmos. This delighted me, because I cannot stand calendula; and October is my birth month.
The article does alert people once again that each month has its flower; and that is a good thing!
Thanks Susanne. Another great article.
