Happy Birthday to those with December Birthdays from Joyful226

To those that have a birthday in December I wish you a very happy one with all kinds of goodies. Your birthstone is a turquoise and your flower a nasturtium aka daffodil as you can see are in this creation. I thought you would like some little birthday information. Your birth flower is a Narcissus (aka daffodil) second to it is Holly the traditional birthstone is Turquoise. "If cold December gave you birth The month of snow and ice and mirth Place on your hand a turquoise blue Success will bless whate'er you do." It is said Turquoise promotes mental and spiritual clarity and expansion and enhances wisdom, trust , kindness and understanding. • The color varies from very green blue to light sky blue shades. • The hardness of the stone ranges between 5 – 6. • It is generally accepted that turquoise gets its name from “Pierre turquoise” a French phrase meaning “Turkish stone.” Turquoise was mined by early Egyptians as early as 6000*** The Narcissus The December birthday flower has a trumpet shaped corona that is surrounded by a ring of petals. They are also poisonous and can be fatal if eaten so no parts of the flower should be ingested. Fun and interesting facts:The name Narcissus is from the narcissistic (Excessive love or admiration of oneself.) youth of Greek mythology called Narkissos.The ancient Greeks believed the narcissus plant originated from the vain youth, Narkissos. He died after becoming so obsessed with his reflection in a pool he could not leave some versions say he starved to death others that it fell into the pool and drowned but all versions agree the Narcissus plant sprang from where he died. The Greeks say that the gods turned his remains into the Narcissus flower.. Pliny wrote that the plant was named instead for its narcotic properties (ναρκάω narkao, "I grow numb" in Greek). .... When comparing the Daffodil, Jonquil, and the "Narcissus", it is important to remember that both the Daffodil and Jonquil are a part of the Narcissus genus. However while the names "Daffodil" and "Narcissus" can be used interchangeably, a Jonquil is a completely different plant down to the shape of the petals and leaves. The Meaning of the December Birth Flower, the Narcissus is respect, modesty and faithfulness. the Colors of the Narcissus The colors of the December Birth Flower, the Narcissus, include the following: White, Yellow, Green, Pink, Red and Orange**** As for Holly the second used for birthdays in December and newer I thought since it is so popular I would include it too: Just as the oak attracts lightning, holly repels lightning. It was often planted around homes for protection from lightning, and for this reason it is viewed as a symbol for protection. Interestingly, science has actually discovered the distinct leaf-shape of the holly acts as a natural repellent for lightning energy, making the holly's protective significance more than just lore. Holly in the christian world is very significant as the ever green leave represent the everlasting life in Christ but also the prickly leaves represent the crown of thorns. The red berries signify the drops of blood Christ shed on the cross for all of us.. Some facts and Lore: The Holly berries are some what toxic to humans and very much so to pets however birds feed well off of them. However the rest of the holly is not and often is used as a stimulant as it has the most caffeine in it.. yes even more than the coffee bean or any other plant. Often used is black teas.. Holly besides Protection means vigilance, and stubborn victories won. Wishing you a Very Happy Birthday Connie
