February Birthflower - Primrose
One of the birth flowers for February is the primrose. Despite what you might be thinking, these aren’t quite roses. Primroses come from the Primulaceae family while roses are from the Rosaceae family.
Primroses bloom in different colours, including white, yellow and red. The word “primrose” comes from the Latin “primis”, which can be translated to “first.” This name fits, because primroses are often the first flowers that bloom in springtime. They are a lovely symbol to mark the end of winter.
These bright blossoms can represent young love. Primroses also have different meanings depending on their colour. While the flower itself signifies modesty and affection, lilac primroses symbolise confidence and red primroses signify unappreciated merit.
Violet - Birth Flower February
Violets are the other February birth flower. These cute little blossoms are named for their purple petals. Even so, they also bloom in white, yellow, and even blue!
Violets are rich in history and carry numerous meanings, depending on their colour. Purple violets are known to symbolise faithful love, while white violets signify innocence and simplicity.

Birth Stone for February
Birthstones are gems that have been assigned to each month of the year. Each birthstone has unique symbolism. The tradition of birthstones is said to date back to ancient times, when people believed that gemstones had magical powers.
Traditionally, each month was associated with one gemstone. Today, jewellers continue to add options to the birthstone chart, so each month may be represented by a few stones.
February’s birthstone is amethyst, a purple quartz that is believed to protect those who wear it from physical and spiritual drunkenness. This gemstone is richly coloured, with a blend of violet and red.
February Birthstone - Amethyst
Amethysts have always been a favourite among royalty and are some of the most precious stones. Many wearers prize this gem for its symbolism and beauty.
This stone’s beautiful colour can complement both warm and cool colours, looking good with any type of metal and skin tone. That’s why an amethyst necklace is so versatile for everyday wear.
Amethysts also promote balance, self-control and peacefulness. It is said that wearing amethyst near the part of the body that is suffering encourages healing.
Because of its healing ability, amethyst is often placed inside homes to guide positive energy through the space and create a peaceful atmosphere.
Birthstone jewellery has become popular recently, due to the significance of each individual stone. Because each gemstone has its own meaning, birthstone jewellery makes a thoughtful personalised gift for any occasion.
Searching for a unique gift for a loved one for a holiday or birthday? Go with a birthstone necklace to represent the best qualities of your loved one.
