Secret Life of December Flowers: Holly and Narcissus

Okay, friends! It’s time to investigate the secret life of December flowers together! As a plant mom myself, I understand the value of communicating with the plant world. Although you could tag me as a delusional flower-child for quite literally talking to my indoor plant babies, we are not here to discuss my metaphysical beliefs on the energy exchange between humans and nature. Instead, we’ll explore the language of flowers. Similarly, as gifts, flowers speak a language of their own, and every flower hosts a series of symbolism, metaphors, and meanings. Today we’ll take a deep dive into the secret life of the December flowers: Holly and Narcissus. 

Holly and Narcissus are two different flowers, each with their own meanings but always thriving during December. Whether you’re celebrating your own birthday or giving a gift to a loved one, including a holly or narcissus flower in a birthday bouquet is a sure way to make for a meaningful gift. And, if you know someone who is expecting this month, you can mark the occasion by sending them some newborn baby flowers with holly and narcissus! Find out more about this unique flower below.
