Flores de nascimento por mês

As flores de nascimento não têm uma autoridade única, por isso as listas variam de uma fonte para outra mais do que as de pedras de nascimento. Esta é a lista inglesa comum, uma ou duas flores por mês, com o significado que se dá a cada uma hoje. A página de cada flor coloca isso ao lado do que os dicionários de flores do século XIX imprimiram, quando imprimiram algo — e os dois muitas vezes não coincidem.

Os significados da tabela são os que as listas de hoje imprimem: um costume, não uma descrição de quem nasceu naquele mês. As entradas dos dicionários do século XIX são citadas, em inglês, na página de cada flor. As páginas de detalhe para as quais estes links levam estão em inglês.
