Carnations are January's Birth Month flower. If you want to send a Birthday Bouquet in January - Ask our florists to make you a rich red bouquet and perhaps include Carnations. |

February | |||

The Violet is February's Birth Flower - sweet purple blooming house plants. For your February birthday delivery - I would suggest a gorgeous purple flower bouquet. It's a good time of year for purple flowers like lisianthus, statice, maines blue, gladioli, chrysanthemums and even purple roses. Please do order in advance to ensure we have a good selection of purple blooms to make up your birthday flowers. |
Rich gorgeous purple amethyst is the birthstone for February. Definately a whole purple theme here for this month. |
|
March | |||
Pisces |
The Narcissus family is the birth flower for March. (Daffodils, Earlicheer, Jonquils) Sadly daffodils are not in season in N.Z. in March - we tend to see them through the flower auctions in late April, early May. Perhaps we could make a Pisces Birthday gift for you in the lovely aquamarine shades of blue. Blue flowers can be few and far between in a flower shop, but Blue iris, Blue statice, and Belladonna will still be in season for your blue bouquet. We also stock delicious Solid chocolate fish for your pisces! ;) If we add a pizzaz of yellow to represent the Narcissus - Our Sunshine Bouquet would fit the job perfectly! Just tell us in the Notes to Florists section of your order if you would like to include Blue. |
The beautiful blue aquamarine is the birthstone for March. A perfect water coloured stone for Pisces! |

Our favourite ruby red tulips are "Il de France". |
