Is pine your birthday "flower"?

Is pine your birthday "flower"? If you were born on December 14th, then it is! It is also the birthday flower of January 3rd and January 19th. Also, black pine is the birthday flower of January 1st. In addition, color pine is the birthday flower of both March 9th and March 24th.

One might not think of pine as a flower, as it's a gymnosperm. A gymnosperm is a non-flowering plant that reproduces with cones, not flowers, although its reproductive structures (male pollen cones and female seed cones) are sometimes informally called "flowers" because they serve a similar purpose. 

The flower meaning of pine is "immortal longevity", "pity" and "compassion". However, in Japan, pine is deeply symbolic, representing not just longevity but good fortune too. Hence it is used  for New Year's kadomatsu decorations. While Christmas trees are often artificial, you can occasionally pick up pine Christmas trees too. Moreover, some people / businesses decorate the pine trees in their garden for Christmas.
