Flowers That Represent A Zodiac Sign
Ask the Expert: What flower represents the zodiac sign capricorn?
I’m trying to find out if there’s specific flowers that represent each zodiac sign. For example, there’s flowers that represent each birth month, so I’m trying to figure out if there’s specific flowers for the astrology signs. Jenn

Jenn,
There are flowers that are associated with astrological sign and are some times referred to as zodiac flowers. Around the 20th of each month, the Bloomin’ Blog discusses the zodiac flower for the current sign. Of course Capricorn is the zodiac sign for December 22 - January 20, so instead of making you wait I’ll tell you what the flowers are for Capricorns.
The zodiac flowers for Capricorns are Chrysanthemum Poinsettia, mixed plants, jasmine, lily, Statice, holly, African violet, ivy, philodendron, snowdrop.
It looks like a long list and it is. Depending on who you talk to all of these flowers can represent the astrological sign of Capricorn. Just a little FYI, my niece who is ten and a Capricorn (January 10th) loves African violets for her birthday and my father (January 13th) loves to receive a new philodendron plant or dish garden every year for his birthday.
So if you want to send your Capricorn a gift, select something with one of the zodiac flowers or plants above.

thank you so much for getting back to me. I was researching the zodiac flowers because I wanted to get a tattoo in memory of my mom and i wanted something pretty and “girlie” and that had meaning. I kept finding several flowers that represented each zodiac like the information you gave me so I was a little hesitant. Again, thank you for your help….it’s greatly appreciated!

I’m not sure if you have gotten your tattoo yet but a lily would be pretty. If the tattoo artist needs a picture of one let me know.
