I and my brother often fight over petty issues. Yesterday we had a major tiff (again) over the TV remote.

Initially, I always wondered why he is always so fierce, but now I know that he is a Leo!

And being fierce, dominant, bold, crisp, sharp, passionate, and full of fire is what a Leo truly stands for. 

I was however wondering about resolving this fight early this time. It’s his birthday month after all.

I mean I can let him win sometimes, especially when his special day is soon to arrive. But what flowers should I gift him?

This question stayed with me for quite a long time as I had never seen him being fond of flowers before.

This is when I started studying Leo flowers. And oh, what a rewarding experience it was!

In this blog, I will share with you all the insights I have acquired about Leo flowers and what flowers you should gift to that special someone who is a Leo in your life.

But before we get to that, let’s first get a glimpse of what the Leo Zodiac Sign is all about!

Leo Zodiac Sign

The fifth sign in the zodiac, Leo is represented by the Lion!

Associated with fire and fire signs, Leos are the kings and queens of the starry maze.

They are very fierce and temperamental in nature. So don’t be mad at yourself if you see yourself getting wild most of the time!

They also are known to be extraordinarily loyal, passionate, and loving. Leos naturally possess leadership skills and artistic abilities.

And guess what I found to be the most related quality of Leos? Their love for drama and chaos.

Well, now I know why my brother is so difficult to deal with at times. However, it’s time to celebrate him and his desire to always bask in the spotlight with some energizing and refreshing flowers.

I will first take you through the birth flowers for Leo and then the other auspicious flowers for Leos.

How are they any different? Well, I’ll address that too. So there we go!
