I only have three of them, January, February, and September.  I'd like to get them all someday, they're a gorgeous set.

Just before they were announced buy hasbro i remember seeing 3 on ebay -Jan,feb ans march. Sold from China they were 40$each. I remember thinking: i'll wait they Will be released soon. Ans finally decided to buy just one in case. Well i bought January carnation mint in box. But turns out she was some type of trial that never made it on the shelves. Mine is pink. She was released in white.

I remember that pink January Carnation "prototype" from back in the day! I was a little disappointed that she turned out to be white in the stores, but that wasn't nearly as disappointing as the fact that I never found her in the stores at all. Distribution was so spotty for these lovely girls.

At the time of the birthflowers' release, there were only four TRUs left in my entire state, and I only found the July-August-September assortment in one of them. I was lucky enough to get the April-May-June set while on vacation in Los Angeles. (Finding that TRU was an adventure... Let's just say that GPS technology has come a long way! Worth it though!) I resorted to eBay to get Oct-Nov-Dec, and I did some trades to get February Violet and March Daffodil. I still don't have January Carnation!

Yes please! I'd love to see too!

They really are one of the best sets ever... I wish I could've found them in stores but they were NOWHERE. Such a bummer then.

I'd like to see pictures as well.
From anyone who would like to share their birthflower collections in fact.

And if anyone has a June Rose they would consider parting with, please contact me. It's a bit disheartening to hear their original release was so thin, I hope I can add her to my collection as she's such a gorgeous pony.

Hmm, I learn something new everyday on MLP Arena... I knew G1 had birthflower ponies, but I didn't know G3 had them as well. I wonder how hard it would be to find the April birthflower ponies for both G1 and G3...

You will probably have the most luck tracking down the G1 - as odd as that sounds! She crops up for sale a little more often and depending on who is looking at the time she can be less expensive as well! Good luck on your search - they are adorable!
