Geburtsblumen nach Monat

Für Geburtsblumen gibt es keine maßgebliche Stelle, deshalb weichen die Listen stärker voneinander ab als bei Geburtssteinen. Dies ist die übliche englische Liste, ein oder zwei Blumen pro Monat, jeweils mit der Bedeutung, die man ihr heute gibt. Die Seite jeder Blume stellt sie neben das, was die Blumenwörterbücher des 19. Jahrhunderts druckten, sofern sie überhaupt etwas druckten – und oft stimmen beide nicht überein.

Jahrhunderts werden auf der Seite jeder Blume zitiert, auf Englisch. Die Detailseiten hinter diesen Links sind auf Englisch.
