January birth flowers display strength and purity
January birth flowers display strength and purity
The carnation, a small yet hearty blossom with a 2,000-year cultivation history throughout the Mediterranean, is one of January's two birth flowers. Known scientifically as Dianthus caryophyllus (a Latin translation of "Flower of the Gods"), carnations boast layers of soft, feathery blooms in an array of colors, each of which carries different meanings. Dark red carnations symbolize deep love, while lighter reds express friendship and personal appreciation. Yellow says "I miss you", while white carnations communicate well wishes and good luck. Coincidentally, the birth flower of this first month of the year is also the official flower of the first wedding anniversaries.
January's second birth flower is the delicate, bell-shaped snowdrop, one of the earliest of all flowers to blossom each year. Native to southern Asia and Europe, a snowdrop reaches but 3-4 inches tall, with a downturned bloom that hides a patterned green and yellow center. Known by botanists as Galanthus nivalis (Greek and Latin terms that mean "milk-white flower" and "resembling snow"), a snowdrop's simple purity has come to symbolize rebirth, faith, and the kind of natural beauty that mankind just can't replicate.
