A flower for every day of the year
In the US and UK, birth flowers usually go by month: carnation for January, daisy for April, marigold for October. In Korea (and Japan) people use a calendar with a flower for each of the 366 days, each with its own flower meaning. This finder shows both: the day flower from the list most widely used in Korea, and the traditional English birth month flowers.
