March Birth Flower
Daffodil
with the Jonquil · Renewal, hope & new beginnings
March’s birth flower is the daffodil, with the closely related jonquil as its companion. The daffodil is spring’s great herald — its first golden trumpet announces that winter is over and a new season has begun.
What it means
The daffodil stands for renewal, hope and new beginnings — and, in tradition, for unequalled love and respect. A single daffodil was sometimes read as a warning of misfortune, so they were given in bunches to wish joy and good fortune.
