    Marigolds and Cosmos are the official October birth flowers. The flowers themselves are beautiful and so are their special meanings!

    Every month has its own individual set of birth flowers. The flowers represent the month and each carries different special meanings. Ancient Rome is believed to be the place of origin for the meanings assigned to flowers. During the Victorian era, meanings were also assigned to flowers and they were used socially.

    Along with the flowers and meanings, I will share a list of gift ideas inspired by the two October birth month flowers! It's a sweet way to personalize a gift for a loved one.
