In case you didn't know your birthday flower is the narcissus ( better known as a daffodil)
The story of this flower is by far one of my favorites
Narcissus was fathered by a river god to a nymph named Liriope. Liriope was told by a prophet that Narcissus would reach old age if he failed to recognize himself.
Narcissus turned into a very beautiful young man, whom everyone loved. However, there was no one to whom Narcissus would return affection.
Echo was a nymph who was destined a fate that she could only repeat the sounds and last words of others. One day she spotted and fell in love with Narcissus. She followed him through the woods but could not speak without repeating his words.
Finally Narcissus tried to call to Echo, but it failed since she could only repeat his call. Finally Echo appeared and tried to hold Narcissus. Narcissus rejected her and Echo ran to hide. Her body then wasted away while she pined for him. She is now forever hiding amongst the leaves and caves in the forest. Her body is gone but her bones became rocks and her voice remains and can be heard in mountain valleys and in caves. Since Narcissus denied everyone his love, the gods fated that Narcissus could never have anything that he loved.
One day while Narcissus was hunting he went to get a drink. As he bent down to drink the water he fell in love with the reflection of himself. He was so awed by this person that he could not move. He tried to grab the image but couldn’t, which made him more infatuated with himself.
Narcissus stayed there without any sleep or food. He called to the gods asking why he was being denied the love that the two shared. He started to talk to the reflection. He claimed he would not leave the one he loved and that they would die as one.
Crazy with love, Narcissus stayed by the side of the water and wasted away. Echo returned to see him wasting away. She mourned more and as he said his farewell to the reflection she echoed his words. Narcissus then lay down to die and the nymphs mourned him. They covered him with their hair and set up for a funeral. When they turned for his body, there was a flower instead.

Facts About Roses
In 1998, a rose named Overnight Scentsation, pun completely intended, was sent into orbit on the STS-95 Discovery Mission. It was the first rose to be sent into outer space.
Did you know rose petals are completely edible, and can even be eaten raw? It’s also common to soak them in water to create rose water. If that’s not enough, rose syrup can be created by adding sugar to aforementioned rose water, delicious.
That’s not the only edible part though. Roses can grow small fruit, known as rosehip, usually of red, orange, or dark purple color. The rosehip fruit is an excellent source of vitamin C, and it’s commonly used to make tea.
As expected, their edible properties and the existence of vitamin C rich tea made them favorable in many historic medicinal practices, such as traditional Chinese medicine.
Roses are commonly used to create perfume, by extracting the essential oil from their flowerheads. The amount of oil in each flower is very miniscule, so it takes around 2000 flowers to extract just a gram of rose oil for perfume production.
Did you want to get your girl roses for Valentine's, but she isn't a traditional girl?? Look at this for an alternative, it's romantic, visually satisfying and different!
Make her feel as special as she is!!!
Valentine's is around the corner
If you want to get a better night’s sleep tonight, try placing gerbera daisies next to your bed. Gerberas emit oxygen and absorb carbon monoxide and toxins at night, this was said to be especially helpful for anyone suffering from sleep apnea

As we head towards Valentine’s Day, how do you celebrate this special day and show someone you genuinely love them? For several hundreds of years, giving someone one or more red roses has been a symbol of true love and romantic adoration. But how did they come to have such significance?
If you look towards Greek mythology, it was believed that red roses were created by Aphrodite, the goddess of love. One version of the myth tells of how Aphrodite injured herself with a thorn from a white rose bush, and as her blood fell onto the petals, it was stained red. Another version says a white anemone grew on the spot where Adonis died, and a red rose where Aphrodite’s tears fell. The red rose became a symbol of love until death.
According to legends surrounding the ancient Romans, wealthy Romans associated the flowers from red roses with beauty and love. Rose petals with their scent were scattered in their baths and bedchambers to give off their pleasant perfume.
Early Christians believed that the red rose was a symbol of the Virgin Mary’s virtue. However, Hindu legends tell how Lakshmi – goddess of fortune and prosperity, and wife of Vishnu – was created using 1008 small red rose petals together with 108 large roses. Since then, the Hindus continue to link red roses with love and romance. The ancient Arabs believed that red roses had a literal effect on their heart. There is a tale of a nightingale who fell in love with a white rose, causing the bird to sing. When the nightingale pressed its body close to the rose, its heart was pierced by a thorn and the bird’s blood flowed onto the rose, turning the petals red. Red roses were then seen as a symbol of intense love and romance
It seems no matter when or where red roses have made a great romantic gift for that special someone

Did you know??
Larkspurs or Delphiniums are a colorful favorite for cottage-style gardens. The name Delphinium originated with the ancient Greeks. It’s derived from the Greek word “Delphis,” which means dolphin. The Greeks thought that the flower bud resembled the shape of a dolphin’s nose. Do you see it?

Did you know?
Campanula is also known as Venus’ looking glass and gets its name from a Greek myth in which Venus (Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty, desire, fertility, prosperity and victory), misplaces her magic mirror, anyone who looked in it would see nothing but beauty.
A poor shepherd boy found it, but would not give it back because he had become entranced with his own image.
Aphrodite orders her son, Eros (Cupid) to go and look for it, which he does but in his haste, Eros struck the shepherd’s hand and the mirror shattered breaks it into a thousand pieces, everywhere a piece of it landed, a Venus-looking-glass flower began to grow.
The largest flower in the world is the titan arums, which produce flowers 10 feet high and 3 feet wide. The flowers smell of decaying flesh and are also known as co**se flowers, as pictured below
Though beautiful to look at, I wouldn't want to be around this one in bloom 😉
