That's interesting, your list has different flowers than mine. On my list, the May birth flower is lily of the valley, August is gladiolus, and September is aster. There might be more, too, I'll have to check.

Yeah, they are super interesting for sure! I uhh... *cough* why do I have to have a diamond though? Doesn't really- Anyways, Daisies are great though! I just don't like diamonds. I had no idea there were "birth flowers" as well. Neato!

I was born on October 25, so my birthstone is a tourmaline and my birth flower is a marigold. Yay, those are both so pretty! Another October birthstone is an opal, which is one of my favorite gems.

I'm another April child...I've always thought that diamonds were OK, but I kinda wish I had something a bit more...exotic. Sweet pea is also another April birth flower.

*Silently reads personality for May* nope, not me.  Wait, that's May?  But I'm like the total opposite of that!  Yeah.  May 26.  I like the flower though.  Sounds like my name.

Peridot guyyyssss!!! I'm surprised I've seen so many August birthdays on here, usually I don't see many. Also I find it really funny when people call each other twins, because I have a twin brother and he looks nothing like me XD
