How the British royals celebrate their birthdays
For most of us, a birthday is an excuse to go big and celebrate in style–get dressed up, host a party, and revel in the chaos! But for most of the British royals, it's an excuse to do the exact opposite. Unless it's a big milestone birthday, they appreciate the chance to take a day off from hosting and dressing up. That being said, there are still certain traditions that must be adhered to. The Prince and Princess of Wales’ youngest child, Prince Louis, is turning six on April 23. Despite a difficult year for the young royal family following Kate Middleton’s recent cancer diagnosis, Louis’ birthday will still be celebrated with their yearly tradition. Middleton previously revealed that she always stays up late to prepare her children’s birthday cakes the night before. “It’s become a bit of a tradition that I stay up ‘til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much,” she explained. “But I love it.” It’s also tradition to release an official photo on each child’s birthday, but this has recently caused controversy for the family as Middleton was accused of photoshopping recent family photos amid rumors of her illness.

It's Official: We Found the 40 Prettiest Flowers in the World
How many of these breathtaking beauties do you recognize? As is often the case with beautiful things, we've given flowers meaning—so much so that even looking at one can make you feel more alive. A plain red rose has become a romantic expression of love and sunny daffodils represent the rebirth of the planet every spring. Of course, because they're plants, we also use them in more practical ways: Silky flower petals have been crushed and distilled into essential oils and perfumes for centuries, and we've figured out how to eat some of them and make tea with select leaves, stalks, and blooms. But to put it simply, the joy of admiring a gorgeous, colorful flower is unmatched. (Though we should note that some are best admired from afar because of toxicity.) Not to mention, no two flowers are exactly the same. Some rise out of the water to bloom while others sprout vines that go where they want…permanently decorating the side of your house. Even low bushes can produce incredible blossoms, like giant peonies, and if you've ever sat under a cherry blossom tree with a cool breeze blowing tiny petals around you, you know how magnificent flowering trees can be. A person who loves flowers is called an "anthophile," and if this describes you, you'll probably recognize most—if not all—of the flowers below. Rare or common, bright or soft, simple or complex, these beautiful flowers from around the world are certainly sights to behold.
