Birth Flower Watercolor Painting Collection

What is a birth flower you ask? Think birthstone, but with silky petals and scents that have you drifting back to childhood. Traditionally each month has two (sometimes three depending on who you’re asking) flowers that represent it on the calendar. 

It seemed to me only fitting that I, as someone who loves to paint flowers, create a watercolor collection of birth flowers that can be gifted or collected for yourself. You can even “grow a “garden” on your wall of all your children or grandchildren. No soil required.
