New baby flowers are sent to celebrate the exciting arrival into the world of a little human being. The long awaited event is over and the proud parents will welcome and appreciate the thoughtfulness of your floral bouquet. If you are the father you may wish to give the present of a special bouquet of red roses to your wife to mark this joyful occasion in your lives.
You can order flowers online which saves you the inconvenience of visiting a flower shop. An online florist, open 24 hours a day, is tailor-made for the habit that many babies have of being born when most shops are shut.
There are many beautiful bouquets and posies to choose from in lovely soft pastel colours and you may want to send pink flowers for a girl or blue flowers for a boy. Pink or white rosebuds, delicate pink or blue sweet peas, blue violets, pink carnations and blue pansies are some of the pretty flowers which are popular when ordering flowers for the newborn baby.
Alternatively, you might prefer to look at the month in which the birth occurred to see which flower is special for that month and what its underlying meaning is.
| Month | Flower | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| January | carnation, snowdrop | fascination |
| February | iris, violet, primrose | sincerity, virtue |
| March | daffodil | desire, affection, courage |
| April | daisy, sweet pea | pleasure, innocence |
| May | lily, lily of the valley | sweetness, success |
| June | rose, honeysuckle | love, good health |
| July | water lily | happiness, contentment |
| August | poppy, gladioli | sincerity, beauty |
| September | aster, morning glory | elegance, affection |
| October | marigold | joy, modesty, hope |
| November | chrysanthemum | optimism, cheerfulness |
| December | narcissus, daffodil | prosperity |
The newborn baby will be quite unaware of the symbolism behind the flower you are sending but what a lovely start to his or her life to be surrounded by nature’s beauty and for his parents to know that you put a lot of thought into the selection of a particular bouquet.
Most new babies are christened or have a naming ceremony within the first few months of life and family and friends can use the occasion to send flowers. Suitable flowers for this occasion might be lilies, white camellias, white carnations, daisies, rosebuds and orchids.
There is a lovely rhyme which can be used to put on a message when you send flowers and your online florist will arrange this for you:
Monday’s child is fair of face,
Tuesday’s child is full of grace,
Wednesday’s child will not be slow,
Thursday’s child has far to go,
Friday’s child is loving and giving,
Saturday’s child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and carefree.
Whatever day of the week or month of the year the new baby arrives, you will find new baby flowers online which will appeal to you and will be just right for sending to the new arrival and his or her family.
