Oh, I just found out that Carnation is another January birth flower. And Narcissis and Poinsetta are also December flowers.

So yeah. December has a zillion stones. I'm not particularly satisfied with my birth flower; they're all basically just different varieties of the same thing. But at least one of my alternate birthstone's Steven Universe gem isn't a total psychopath, so that's something. I'm March, btw.

Sweet Peas are pinkish white, right? Other wise both my stones and flowers would be white.

I think sweet peas can be a variety of colors, but I know they come in both pink and white.

*one Google image search later*

Yes, sweet peas can be pink, white, blue, purple, orange, red or green.
