Is 'October Daphne' your birthday flower?

There are two main birthday flowers associated with October 15th. They are the Japanese Anemone and the October Daphne. I have already covered Japanese Anemone as is also the flower of September 14th, 30th and October 8th too. The October Daphne is also the birthday flower of a few different dates. Apart from October 15th it is also the birthday flower of September 17th and October 25th.

October Daphne flowers is a species of flowering plant in the Crassulaceae family. It has a few different names such as October stonecrop, Siebold's stonecrop, Siebold's sedum and the scientific name is Hylotelephium sieboldii (syn. Sedum sieboldii). In Japanese it is called Misebaya ミセバヤ in Japanese. The name comes from "I want to show you", which is apparently what the monk at Mt Koya said to his teacher when he brought the flower to him after finding it deep in the mountain.

October Daphne is native to Japan. Pink is the color most associated with the flower, but there are red and peach flowers too. In the 'hanakotoba' language of flowers, the flowers are said to mean "precious you" and "modesty".  Have you seen any October Daphne yet this year?
