In other words: there is plenty of choice when it comes to colour.

Gerbera as birth flower

The fact that gerberas are considered birth flowers may be due to the fact that we often find them cheerful, they attract the birds and the bees, they represent innocence and purity, and they turn towards the sun. There are so many reasons why we love gerberas; maybe that is why we associate the flower with the birth of a baby.
