The festive Holly is December’s Birth Flower
Just in time for the winter holidays, the festive Holly is the birth flower for December. Holly symbolizes the desire for domestic happiness, and sending holly to friends wishes them well-being and good health.
December’s Birthstone and color
I’ve also used December’s beautiful Ruby birthstone as the color inspiration for this month’s printable.
History of Birth Flowers
Birth flowers have an interesting history. For instance, the earliest reference to the language of flowers is by the poet Christopher Smart. He first mentioned a language of flowers in Jubilate Agno, circa 1759-63. However, Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu, through her memoirs, introduced 18th century western culture to the concept of flowers assigned to each birth month.
Additionally, Victorians expressed feelings not considered proper to voice aloud by sharing ‘talking bouquets’. You can read the history and full lists of flowers at the links below, if you’re interested. I hope you’ll enjoy this fun series and your pretty December Holly birth flower printable!
