In ancient Rome, March was called Martius, so named after Mars, the
Roman god of war. March is the first month of spring.
March was originally the first month of the Roman calendar before the winter
months of January and February were added about 700 BC by King Numa Pompilius.

Pisces: February 20 – March 20
Pink Dawn Flower Bouquet
 One of the less flamboyant of the zodiac signs, the Pisces possesses a gentle
and patient nature and excels at understanding others and themselves more so
than any other sign. With a great sense of generosity, compassion and
sensitivity, it’s not surprising that they tend to be popular with all kinds
of people. Easygoing and affectionate, they lead with emotion rather than
rationality, instinct more than intellect. Send them Teleflora’s Pink
Dawn Flower Bouquet , filled with a mix of soft—colored blooms, or an arrangement that
complements their preference for subtlety, featuring delicate daffodils. Or,
choose a bouquet of small blossoms like alstroemeria or a flowering azalea
plant—both big in beauty but modest in design. Aries:
March 21 – April. 20
Red Tulips
Born under the symbol of the sure—footed ram, the Aries is drawn
to adventure. With their dynamic personalities, confidence and contagious
energy, you won’t find many shrinking violets in this crowd. Add to the mix an
attraction to the unexpected, and it becomes clear that these folks are best
suited to an arrangement that’s a little off the beaten path. Choose a bouquet
filled with exotic and colorful stargazer lilies, a nothing - demure -about - it bunch of bighearted sunflowers or radiant
Red Tulips
—a slightly untraditional, yet powerful, symbol of love.
