Birth flower for May

May marks the final month of spring and soon summer will be here. It’s a great month for those in search of various fresh flowers since so many are in bloom. With so many to choose from, you might not know which ones to buy for somebody’s birthday in May. Since each month is associate with a particular flower, this is an excellent place to start.

For the month of May, the Lily of the Valley is the flower of choice. It symbolises humility, sweetnees, and happiness. These are relatively small flowers which means that you will need quite a few stems to make a good looking bouquet. Alternatively, you could pair these white flowers with another bloom like roses. Add some foliage too so that the beauty and shape of these gorgeous flowers really stands out.

Another great option is pairing Lily of the Valley with a few stems of lavender. This makes the bouquet colourful and particularly fragrant. In the case of this bouquet, you can use just a few stems to create a stunning visual effect.

If you want to make this a gift even more impressive, ask your florist to include a gift with the flower delivery. For example, you could add a vase for the flowers, luxury chocolates, a birthday cake or stuffed animal. This will emphasize the birthday theme of this gift and, if you send a vase or teddy bear, the recipient will have something to enjoy for years to come.
