Taurus
Those born under the sign of Taurus never mask their affinity for the finer things in life. These people are much like the poppy―vibrant and gorgeous to look at, and exude a definitive sense of classy confidence. They are also very resilient, especially in the face of adversity.
Other flowers associated with Taurus:
- Daisy
- Violet
- Columbine

Geminis are highly social and energetic by nature, and manage to bring in a ray of sunshine wherever they go. The lavender is no different―the flower manages to attract the senses with both, its unique form and delicate fragrance.
Other flowers associated with Gemini:
- Chrysanthemum
- Lilac
- Azalea
- Orchid
Cancer
White roses have a certain kind of purity associated with them, as do the people who are born under the zodiac sign of Cancer. They are sweet, loving, and extremely nurturing by nature, and have that hint of melancholy in their expressions. White colored flowers are especially suited to Cancerians.
Other flowers associated with Cancer:
- White lotus
- Morning glory
- White lily
- Southern magnolia
Leo
Leos are the life of the party, as is apparent with their zodiac flower, the sunflower. Quite like the sunflower, these people are gregarious and enthusiastic, and also tend to dominate the landscape (or let’s just say, a gathering) at all times.
Other flowers associated with Leo:
- Marigold
- Passion flower
- Dahlia
- Aster
Virgo
The zodiac sign of Virgo is symbolized by the bright and diminutive buttercup. Virgos are very analytical, observant, and thoughtful by nature. The buttercup denotes a sense of stability and neatness, two virtues that are singly associated with Virgo.
Other flowers associated with Virgo:
- Chrysanthemum
- Narcissus
- Eucalyptus
Libra
The rose is a flower renowned for its beauty, quite like the Libran brood. Librans are known to be highly fond of all things beautiful, balanced, and just, which is why they cannot tolerate any kind of upheaval or injustice. The steely, balanced beauty of the rose is a mirror image of a true Libran.
Other flowers associated with Libra:
- Hydrangea
- Aster
- Daisy
Scorpio
Dark geraniums aptly symbolize the sign of Scorpio. These people are multi dimensional, and always love to spring a surprise once you think you know them. Mysterious and intelligent, Scorpios are rarely known to let their guard down.
Other flowers associated with Scorpio:
- Black-eyed Susans
- Gardenia
- Rhododendron
- Chrysanthemum
Sagittarius
Sagittarians are immensely strong-willed and determined, and are always game for a challenge. Just like the carnation, they are sharp and highly organized in the way they function. They have an eye for beauty, and are unabashedly flirtatious.
Other flowers associated with Sagittarius:
- Dandelion
- Narcissus
- Peony
- Thistle
Capricorn
Capricorn only gets better with time, and so do the pansy flowers whose beauty is quite unlike another. A true Capricornian is tenacious and hardworking, and loves to enjoy the materialistic fruit of their efforts.
Other flowers associated with Capricorn:
- Jasmine
- Holly
- Ivy
- Baby’s breath
Aquarius
Zippy, zany, and highly unpredictable Aquarius gets the gorgeous orchids, not surprisingly. Aquarians are innovative and hate to conform to set beliefs, and orchids perfectly symbolize their wild and quirky nature. Aquarians and orchids are both unique, and come in myriad shapes and looks.
Other flowers associated with Aquarius:
- Bird of paradise (flower)
- Goldenrod
- Gladiolus
Pisces
Pisceans are intuitive and spiritual, quite like the water lily, which absorbs positivity from its surroundings. These people are sensitive and emotional, and lack the straight forwardness that may come easily to others.
Other flowers associated with Pisces:
- Rhubarb
- Moss
- Lilac
Flowers are beautiful, and manage to convey a lot, especially when you’re short of words. So, if you’re looking to gift flowers to your loved ones, pick one that symbolizes their zodiac sign―it may send your message across even better than you imagined.
