Flowers Bloom Through the Seasons. Life has its four seasons. One after another, slender blossoms drift down into the heart, charming and fragrant.
Sometimes, facing the smile of a flower, in a daze, it feels as if in the distant flowing light you have encountered a duplicate of yourself.
A year has twelve months, and one flower represents each lunar month. See which flower deity you are most destined with?
The Flower Deity of January
[Orchid]
In the cold valley the snow has just half melted from the woods; purple flowers sway and play in the shady daylight.

Flower meaning: beauty, noble purity, virtue.
People born in January are fresh and elegantly refined, giving others a sense of comfort and quiet. Gentle and cultivated by nature, yet with something they hold fast to in their hearts, they have their own strong ideas and will not bow for worldly matters.
The Flower Deity of February
[Apricot Blossom]
A pool of spring water encircles the flowering tree; the blossoms' shadows, alluring, each claim their share of spring.
Even if the spring wind blows them into snow, that is far better than being crushed into dust on the southern road.
Flower meaning: strength, elegance, loyalty.
People born in February have noble qualities and are skilled at dealing with the world; clever and quick, they are well loved. Like the apricot blossom, they fear no ice or snow in the bitter winter months, smiling over the wild fields with a tenacious spirit.

The fair face, one knows not where it has gone; the peach blossoms still smile in the spring wind.
Flower meaning: love, luck, beauty.

The Flower Deity of April

Flower meaning: fulfillment, deep affection, wealth and honor.
People born in April, like the tree peony, are competitive, warm and generous, eager and brave in advancing, upright in conduct, poised and refined in manner, full of dignity, and able to win their friends' respect.
The Flower Deity of May
[Pomegranate Flower]
The pomegranate branches are graceful, the pomegranate fruits abundant; the pomegranate membranes light and bright, the pomegranate seeds fresh.
One may envy the green peach tree by the Jade Pool; the green peach's rosy cheeks last a thousand years.
Flower meaning: ripe beauty, wealth and honor, many descendants.
People born in May are sentimental and easily moved, with a pair of clear eyes, skilled at probing others' hearts. But they are impatient and suspicious, without steady opinions of their own.
The Flower Deity of June
[Lotus]
The green pond ripples and glitters, reaching the stars' ford; creaking oars glide into the white duckweed.
It must be the Luo River goddess's stocking upon the waves; to this day the lotus stamens bear the dust of fragrance.
Flower meaning: loyalty, proud solitude, freedom.
People born in June are unrestrained in temperament, open and aboveboard, good at keeping youthful vitality, enthusiastic about their careers, never hypocritical, and treat others with amiable restraint.
The Flower Deity of July
[Hosta Flower]
Crickets and cicadas sing, drawing long inspiration; hosta flowers fall, scenting the wild pond.
Let not the gardener break the autumn lotus; leave it to shade the swimming fish from the setting sun.
Flower meaning: freedom from the commonplace, pure as ice and clean as jade.
People born in July are upright by nature, eloquent and quick, innocent and romantic, rich in imagination, ambitious and idealistic, thorough in handling matters, and reasonable and understanding.
The Flower Deity of August
[Osmanthus]
In human idleness the osmanthus falls; the night is still, the spring mountain empty.
The moon rises and startles the mountain birds; now and then they call within the spring ravine.
Flower meaning: good fortune, friendship, fragrant uprightness that never yields.
People born in August are warm and generous to others and quick in action. Pure in nature as the moon, utterly loyal to others, ready to take up the cause of justice, fond of travel, and lovers of freedom.
The Flower Deity of September
[Chrysanthemum]
The autumn thicket surrounds the house like Tao Yuanming's home; all around the hedge the sun gradually slants.
It is not that among flowers I favor the chrysanthemum alone; once this flower has bloomed, there are no more flowers.
Flower meaning: purity and quiet, noble purity, true feeling, longevity.
People born in September are firm and bold in feeling, with spirit and independent emotions, plain and generous, with a talent for command, a sense of justice, bold in action, self-disciplined and hard-working, with extraordinary charm.
The Flower Deity of October
[Hibiscus]
A light breeze sways the purple leaves; gentle dew brushes the vermilion chamber.
The reason the middle pool is green is to await my floating red light.
Flower meaning: gorgeous beauty free of the commonplace, noble purity.
People born in October are shrewd and capable, clever-handed and nimble-minded, able to adapt to circumstances, warm and attentive to others, amiable and approachable, deeply respected and cherished by everyone, and lovers of literature and art.
The Flower Deity of November
[Camellia]
Waxy buds and green calyxes, only then warmed by the sun, release a thousand branches of crane-crown red.
When the snow clears and spring's message comes through, emerald clouds surround it like a brocade screen.
Flower meaning: ideal love, yielding modesty.
People born in November bloom quietly, contending with no one, in fine and delicate beauty, like an elegant camellia, proudly opening in the solemn cold autumn, making others feel warmth and brimming vitality.
The Flower Deity of December
[Wintersweet]
Purple mist breaks the calyx, dotted like a honeycomb; rose dew steeped thick gives off a drifting fragrance.
Sent to the worthy governor of Chicheng, so he may know gentle harmony enters the scenery.
Flower meaning: strength, proud spirit, elegance.
People born in December have tenacious willpower and rich imagination, are warm and generous to others, glad to help others, love boldness all their lives, and have a spirit of diligent study.
Every flower is a living life, quietly blooming and breathing out fragrance. May we too, for the rest of our lives, bloom like flowers and live each day happily.
