The March birth flower: the Daffodil
The daffodil is March's birth flower, one of the first blooms of spring and a cheerful symbol of new beginnings. A single daffodil was once said to foretell misfortune, so tradition holds you should always give them in a bunch.
What the March birth flower means
In the Victorian language of flowers, the Daffodil carried the meaning of new beginnings, rebirth and joy. That is why it makes such a fitting birthday gift or tattoo for anyone born in March: it says something without needing words. The secondary March flower, the Jonquil, adds its own shade of meaning for those who want a second option.
Pairing the March flower with its birthstone
March's birthstone is Aquamarine, a sea blue-green gem. A Daffodil flower next to a Aquamarine stone is a natural birthday pairing, especially for jewellery, cards or tattoos that combine both. Anyone born this month also falls under Aries or Pisces. See the full March overview for everything together.
