Birth Flower for March
Ever since the 18th century, flowers have been assigned to each month and called “birth flowers.”
According to the language of flowers, also known as floriography, each birth flower carries its own meaning.
Just like birthstones, each month has one or two flowers associated with it. March is represented by two lovely flowers: daffodils and jonquils.
March Birthflower - Jonquil
Jonquils are a cheerful bright yellow, and their appearance signifies the start of spring! This flower is native to Southern Europe and North-Eastern Africa. It stands for desire and bliss.
Daffodil - Birth Flower March
While daffodils and jonquils look similar, they are not the same. Daffodils are one of the most recognisable flowers in spring.
They are also widely known for their bright white and yellow petals. As daffodils are usually the first flowers to bloom after winter, they signify the start of spring and new beginnings. Hooray!
In China, daffodils symbolise prosperity as they tend to blossom around Chinese New Year.
Daffodils stand for faithfulness in Wales, where they are the national flower. They also symbolise the expression of deep love.

Birth Stone for March
Birthstones are gemstones that have been assigned to a particular month. These stones have unique meanings and significance that are said to date back to ancient times.
Although each month is traditionally associated with one gemstone, jewellers today continue to add options to the modern birthstone chart.
March Birthstone - Bloodstone
Traditionally, March’s birthstone is the bloodstone. This dark green gem is flecked with red iron oxide spots--so unexpected and unique!
These stones are typically found embedded in rocks or pebbles. Bloodstones come in many sizes, and their value is decided by their colour and number of spots. The more dark red spots, the higher the value for bloodstone.
Because of their association with blood, bloodstones are supposed to protect the wearer against haemorrhages. They also stand for bravery.
Aquamarine - Birthstone for March
The modern birthstone for March is aquamarine. This gemstone comes in a range of gorgeous sea-like hues.
Due to this stone’s colour and name, this gem is strongly connected to the ocean. It is also known to protect sailors, fishermen and travellers. Perfect for a loved one who adores the water!
Aquamarine is also associated with tranquillity, serenity, hope, and health. With its combination of colours that represent the sky and water, aquamarine symbolises eternal life.
In the past, aquamarine was also known to have healing properties. The stone was used to treat eye, liver, and throat diseases.
Modern-day healers believe that aquamarine can promote psychic and spiritual awareness in those who wear it.
