Flores de nacimiento por mes

Las flores de nacimiento no tienen una autoridad única, así que las listas varían de una fuente a otra más que las de piedras de nacimiento. Esta es la lista inglesa habitual, una o dos flores por mes, con el significado que se da hoy a cada una. La página de cada flor lo compara con lo que imprimieron los diccionarios de flores del siglo XIX, cuando imprimieron algo, y a menudo no coinciden.

Los significados de la tabla son los que imprimen las listas actuales: una costumbre, no una descripción de quien nació en ese mes. Las entradas de los diccionarios del siglo XIX se citan, en inglés, en la página de cada flor. Las páginas de detalle a las que llevan estos enlaces están en inglés.
