I have always been fascinated by any kind of gems and flowers, and when I discovered that each month had one to itself I was even more wondered. May's is emmerald... this gave a friend of mine the opportunity of calling me Emm, and I like it very much!
A lot of thanks to my sister, and click here to see the original post on her blog.

I really like the sapphire and the discription behind it. :) Just wish I could live up to my birthstone. :P
How fun! I never knew there were flowers to the month, and the meanings are great, too! Thanks so much for sharing!
Let's see -- July is ruby (contentment); larkspur, water lily (laughter / purity of heart). I always knew July was a good month! Oh to have those qualities more rooted in my life!
