About This Collection
Birth flowers are one of the few birthday traditions that involve no candles and no singing. The twelve prints follow the seasons, which makes the collection as easy to browse by feel as by month.
Winter and early spring. The January Carnation Birth Flower Print, the February Violet Birth Flower Print and the March Daffodil Birth Flower Print open the year, and the December Holly Birth Flower Print closes it. Holly is the only evergreen of the twelve, which makes it a natural choice for anyone whose birthday gets lost somewhere in the Christmas wrapping.
Spring and summer. The April Daisy Birth Flower Print, the May Lily of the Valley Birth Flower Print, the June Rose Birth Flower Print and the July Larkspur Birth Flower Print cover the months when the garden is doing most of the work. The June rose is the obvious pick for a June wedding anniversary as well as a June birthday.
Late summer and autumn. The August Gladiolus Birth Flower Print, the September Aster Birth Flower Print, the October Marigold Birth Flower Print and the November Chrysanthemum Birth Flower Print take the year from high summer into autumn, with the chrysanthemum holding out long after most of the garden has given up.
For more flowers without the birthday connection, the floral prints collection and the botanical prints collection have plenty, and the nursery prints collection is worth a look if the print is for a new arrival.
What rooms suit birth flower prints?
Nurseries are a natural home, particularly as a new baby gift or first-birthday present. A single birth flower print at A4 or A3 sits comfortably above a cot or changing table, and stays relevant long after the nursery becomes a bedroom.
Bedrooms suit one or two prints on a bedside wall, perhaps one for each person, which is a quieter way of saying "us" than a wedding photo.
Hallways and landings are a good place for a family set: one print for each birthday in the house, hung in a row in matching frames.
For a gallery wall, birth month prints mix well with pieces from the romantic wall art collection and the bedroom collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are birth flower prints?
A birth flower is a flower traditionally linked to the month you were born, much like a birthstone. Several months have more than one traditional flower, so this collection uses one per month, from the January carnation to the December holly, with each print dedicated to a single month and its flower.
Are birth flower prints good gifts?
They're one of the easiest personal gifts to get right, because the month does the choosing. They suit birthdays, new babies, a mum or grandmother, and they make a good anniversary gift, where a pair of prints for two birth months makes a thoughtful combination.
Can I buy several months as a set?
Yes. A birth flower family set, with one print for each person in the house, or a pair for a couple, reads as a set when hung together at the same size. Buy 2, save 10%; buy 3, save 15%, applied automatically at checkout.
What sizes are available?
Most prints are available in sizes from 5x7 up to A1, with both metric and US paper sizes. Full size options are shown on each individual product page. For a family set hung in a row, A4 or 8x10 keeps the arrangement neat; a single print above a cot or bed works well at A3.
Can all prints be ordered framed?
Yes. All prints can be ordered framed. We're rolling framed options out across the site, so individual listings will show whether a framed version is currently available. If you'd like a framed version of a print that doesn't yet have that option listed, get in touch and we'll sort it for you.
What is the print quality like?
Prints are produced on FSC-certified 200gsm fine art paper using a 12-colour press with a matte, glare-free finish.
Where do you ship and how long does delivery take?
We ship worldwide via Gelato's global print network, meaning your order is fulfilled close to where you live. Every print is made to order and dispatched promptly, then arrives within 2 to 5 business days of dispatch. Free shipping applies to US and UK orders.
