Flowers have always been a symbol of beauty, love, and affection. However, did you know that each month of the year has its own special birth flower? Bloomful Living is excited to share the meaning behind each month’s bloom. In this blog post, we will explore September’s Birth Flowers: the aster and the morning glory.
The Tale of Aster
Asters are known for their daisy-like appearance and come in a variety of colors such as pink, white, and purple. Asters are said to represent love, patience, and elegance. According to ancient Greek mythology, the goddess Astraea, who was associated with innocence and purity, was so upset with the world’s wickedness that she left the earth and became the constellation Virgo. Legend has it that when she left, she shed tears that fell to the ground and turned into asters. Asters are often given to symbolize a love that has been rekindled or to show a deep love for someone who is patient, elegant, and refined.
The Story of Morning Glory
Morning glories are known for their trumpet-shaped flowers and come in a variety of colors such as pink, blue, and purple. Morning glories are said to represent love, affection, and mortality. In Chinese folklore, morning glories are known as the “flower of love” and are often given to show affection and love towards someone. In Victorian times, morning glories were given to symbolize the fleeting nature of love, as the flowers only bloom for a short period of time each day.
The Significance of Birth Flowers
Birth flowers are a unique way to celebrate someone’s birth month. They not only add a personal touch to a gift, but they also have a deep meaning behind them. Birth flowers can be incorporated into weddings, anniversaries, and other special occasions. By giving someone their birth flower, you are not only showing them that you care, but you are also acknowledging the significance of their birth month.
Conclusion
Bloomful Living hopes that this blog post has shed some light on the significance of birth flowers, and specifically September’s birth flowers, the aster and morning glory. Whether it is for a birthday or a special occasion, giving someone their birth flower is a thoughtful and personal gesture that will always be appreciated.
