What Is Your Birth Orchid?

We have all heard of zodiac signs and birthstones. We have also featured birth flowers and their flower meanings on the blog previously. Recently, we discovered that in floriography, the language of flowers, there are also birth orchids that represent each month of the year.

Each orchid plant comes with an interesting flower meaning that says something about you, which may or may not be true but is ultimately worth checking out. See the rest of the article and find out if you are a Vanda, a Cymbidium, or a Phalaenopsis based on your birth month.
