Narcissus are spring plants that grow mainly in the Mediterranean region. They are either yellow or white in color with the center in the same or contrasting color.

What the flowers symbolize?

Holly

Found in tropical, and sub-tropical regions around the world, the hollies are plants with smooth branches, glossy leaves, and beautiful red berries. The flowers of this tree are tiny and are greenish white with four petals. A peculiarity of this plant is that both male and female flowers grow in different plants.

Holly is known mainly for its foliage and not for its flowers. It does not signify anything, in particular, to go with the personality trait of a Sagittarian. But since the leaves and berries are widely used for Christmas decoration, Holly becomes the right choice for a December birthday.

Narcissus

Narcissus are six petal flowers that are either yellow or white in color. They have narrowed tubular base and the center of the flower either takes the same color as the petals or a contrasting color. Narcissus are usually found in the woods and meadows of South Eur­­ope and North America. The name Narcissus is derived from the Greek word Narke which means numbness. The name could be attributed to the narcotic fragrance of the flower.

One of the most common varieties of Narcissus is the daffodil which is popularly used in bouquets. Daffodil signifies rebirth and a new beginning and hence would make an ideal gift for a birthday. It also means happiness which is very close to the personality trait of a Sagittarian.
