Counting down those birthday flowers that correspond to the months of the body, part one
A birthday is a very special day for everyone. In our country, everyone has a Chinese zodiac sign, and foreign countries have something similar to ours. That is, they all have birthday flowers, which originated from the ancient Christian practice of decorating altars with blooming flowers to commemorate deceased saints. The 365 days of saints' commemoration days are each matched with different flowers, forming a flower calendar.
Later, Europe and America kept passing down the legend of birthday flowers representing each of the 365 days of the year. On one's birthday, people would adorn themselves with their birthday flower to receive blessings. There are 365 kinds of birthday flowers (so many). The editor will not go into detail one by one (if you want to know your own birthday flower, you can look it up). Let's just get a general understanding of the birthday flowers for the first day of each month, shall we?

But long ago, it was chosen to commemorate the flower of Bishop of Grenoble - Hugues, who devoted himself to the reform movement in the early eighth century.
Blessing: Anyone born under the blessing of this flower is very serious and straightforward, and will never ignore unreasonable things. However, if they cannot tolerate even the slightest fault of their lover and reprimand it, then feelings cannot be cultivated. Sometimes it is only perfect to turn a blind eye!
