In the Victorian language of flowers, signifies new beginnings and unequalled regard.

Jonquil

In the Victorian language of flowers, signifies desire and returning affection.

Paired with the March birthstone

March pairs these flowers with Aquamarine — Pale blue to sea green, hardness 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale. Gifts combining the two are a modern habit rather than a traditional one, but the colours were never chosen to clash.
