April 2023

April’s flowers are the daisy which symbolizes innocence, happiness, and new beginnings, and sweet peas which represent blissful pleasure.

Zodiac signs: Aries (Mar 21 to Apr 20) are courageous, competitive and honest while Taurus (Apr 21 to May 21) are tenacious and stubborn but also very chill which makes them resilient.
