December’s flowers may be very different from each other, one being a bulb and the other an evergreen, but they both symbolize hope.
What are the Flowers for the Month of December?
The December birth flowers are holly and narcissus (specifically, the paperwhite).
The Holly
Holly symbolizes a wish for domestic happiness.
Although some animals and birds enjoy holly berries, they are semi-toxic to humans.
The good news is that deer tend to avoid eating holly.
The Narcissus (Paperwhite)
Narcissus conveys that you want your beloved to stay just the way they are.
While there are many types of narcissus, the paperwhite is the winter-growing variety and the birth flower for December.

Large pop up Chevy add at the bottom of this article makes it almost impossible to read. No x link to make it disappear, so I would just rather x out of the article rather than try to navigate around it.
