Birth Flower

Everyone knows that they have a specific birthstone that goes along with the month that you were born in. However, what most people don't know, me included till now, is that everyone also has a corresponding birth flower.Each one having a history of why it is your birth flower. Mine are gladiolus and poppies. I find that a little weird, its like a state bird or something. Lol.

Flower Meaning:
Poppy- Eternal Sleep, Imagination, Oblivion
Gladiolus- Sincerity, Strength of Character, Generosity, Natural Grace

Interesting fact about a Poppy; Legend states that seeds of a poppy when ingested can cause someone to test positive for opium during a drug test. Is this just a legend or is there truth to it. Well, my favorite show myth busters actually did an episode on this very legend. After eating a shit ton of poppy seeds their two subjects successfully tested positive for opium for the remainder of the day. But don't worry if you are ever to test this theory. It only lasted that day, the next morning they tested negative.

If you know me, what do you think of me and my flower meanings?
