................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Happy Birthday February Girl! You were born in the shortest, most eclectic month of the year. Think about it -- what other month has holidays celebrating love, presidents and groundhogs? February comes from the Latin word for "februa" which means cleansing or purifying. To the Romans, February was a time to get your house in order after a long winter. Your flower is the iris - tall, regal and deep, deep purplish blue. What better compliment to it than your birthstone, the amethyst? Deep seductive purple, legend has it that amethysts gained their name courtesy of Bacchus, the Roman god of win and good living. Angry with the mortals, Bacchus pledged to have the next person crossing his path eaten by angry beasts. That person, the maiden Amethyst, was saved from her terrible fate when she was transformed into a pillar of quartz by her patron goddess, Diana. Bacchus felt so guilty that he poured a glass of wine over the pillar staining it purple. Not only is February an eclectic month, but the people born during February are also unique, one-of-a-kind personalities: Lisa Marie Presley (2/1), Shakira (2/2), Zsa Zsa Gabor (2/6), legendary stripper Gypsy Rose Lee (2/9), Jennifer Aniston (2/11) and the late, great Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin (2/22).
