Flower quotes to accompany your birth flowersIf your love of all things floral extends to gardening, here are some posts you might find interesting. Roses are the birthday month flower for June, but in the language of flowers the rose carries a different meaning for each of its colours. Ilex aquifolium is the common or English holly with classic dark green spiny leaves and long-lasting red berries. Leaf variations can be found in numerous cultivars such as the female holly ‘Argentea Marginata’ which bears leaves edged with white. The confusingly named ‘Golden Queen’, is a male holly with gold-margined leaves. In colder climates, the dainty Iris sibirica is the species that flowers in February, but here in the southern hemisphere, it's the flamboyant bearded iris or Iris germanica that is in flower. Think of Monet’s vibrant canvases where he captures the vibrant colour and profusion of the flowers of this stately plant. The petals of a bearded iris are composed of upper ‘standards’ above ‘falls’, often of a contrasting colour, with a distinctive yellow ‘beard’ emerging between the two.
