Is Daphne Odora your birthday flower?
Is Daphne Odora your birthday flower? If you were born on December 15th, then yes, daphne odora is your birthday flower. It is one of two flowers associated with December 15th annually. The other is Monstera.
However, Daphne Odora is not in bloom currently. It typically blooms around February to April. The photo in this post was taken in February 2025. Daphne Odora
is also the birthday flower of February 10th and February 23rd, at which time it is usually in bloom in Japan.
It is called "Jinchoge" in Japanese. The "Hana no kotaba" flower language is "glory," "immortality," "everlasting," and "eternity." In western countries it is also said to represent "glory" and "immortality" .
Former nickname was "Saitama". Changed it to save confusion on place review posts! Irish, 20+ years in Japan! I also write on my personal website: insaitama.com
