April Birthstone and Birth Flower Guide: Diamond and Sweet Pea

April Birthstone and Birth Flower Guide: Diamond and Sweet Pea

Spring is here! As always, with a new month comes a new birthstone guide and lets just say this one is going to be extra sparkly and sweet! April is all about the diamond and in previous posts we’ve explored unique facts, products, astrological properties and one of the notable birth flowers, but this time we’re here to chat about the second birth flower, sweet pea! This birth flower holds many unique properties that we can’t wait to share, let’s get started! 

Diamond Delight: A Quick Refresher


Before we get swept away by the sweet scent of sweet peas, let's take a moment to recap and  marvel at the magnificence of diamonds! Ranking a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale, diamonds are truly the invincible gem in the jewelry world! Did you know that in Ancient Greece, diamonds were referred to as "adamas," meaning "invincible" and "indestructible"? Talk about a gem with some serious history and muscle!

Diamond Symbolism


Need a boost of fortitude to tackle life's hurdles? The diamond's got your back! Since it is said that the diamond is the “stone of invincibility”, it will bring you all the courage and fortitude to take on any obstacle that comes your way!

Sweet Pea: A Floral Treat


Now, let's shift our focus from dazzling rocks to fragrant blooms! Say hello to sweet pea, the darling of April's floral scene! With its scientific name "lathyrus odoratus" and its nickname "Queen of the Annuals," sweet pea reigns supreme in the Fabaceae family, rubbing shoulders with beans and legumes (it’s not a crop pea, but it’s a close relative). Discovered in sunny southern Italy by the Sicilian monk Francis Cupani in the late 1600s, sweet pea brings a touch of Mediterranean magic to your garden!

Scent-sational Sweet Pea


Wondering what sweet pea smells like? Picture a blend of honey, oranges, and jasmine—talk about a sweet symphony for your senses! Blooming from spring to early summer in a kaleidoscope of colors, sweet peas are a feast for the eyes and the nose!  

Symbolism in Bloom


But wait, there's more to sweet peas than meets the eye (or nose)! These delightful flowers symbolize blissful pleasure, good wishes, kindness, gratitude, and friendship. In France, they're even a traditional gift for brides, believed to bring luck on their big day! Additionally, did you know that wearing sweet pea could once grant you strength or reveal the truth? Plus, tuck one in your pocket, and voilà—your clothes get a fragrant upgrade!
