The spicy Marigold is October’s Birth Flower

It’s time for changing seasons, Autumn’s harvest, and falling leaves. It’s also time for the newest birth flower printable in my series! The birth flower for October is the spicy Marigold. Marigolds are known as ‘the herb of the sun’ and, according to gidasflowers.com, these cheerful flowers symbolize creativity and passion.

October’s Birthstone and color

I’ve also used October’s beautiful watermelon Tourmaline 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 October Marigold birth flower printable!
