A beautiful way to honour your baby is to purchase a tree or a plant; a living symbol of the love that continues on for your baby. For example, the birth flower of your baby, or a plant that has the same name as your baby. You might like to keep it in a pot so you can move it around, or plant it in a special memorial garden. Some parents have sent out packets of seeds for their family and friends to plant in honour of their baby. The following is a list of birth flowers for each month.
