Violet
The primary February birthday flower is the Violet, also known as a pansy. The violet group of flowers has up to 600 types that are found mainly in the temperate Northern Hemisphere.
Violets start flowering in spring and can last throughout the summer. Colors include violet as well as shades of blue, yellow, white and cream.
The blue violet is the state flower of Wisconsin, Rhode Island, Illinois, and New Jersey, USA.
The language of flowers introduced in Victorian times associates violets with faithfulness, humility and chastity.
Iris
The second February flower is the Iris, a group of up to 300 types named after the Greek word for a rainbow, which also aptly describes the wide variety of colors.
