We know that birthdays are special for everyone, but deciding on perfect gifts is a task. One thing I am confused about is why some flowers feel more special when given on birthdays.
I know customized gifts are special, and in fact, 60% of people have also said that they remember a gift better when it’s personalized. But how can a flower be customized? No worries because that is what we gonna discuss here.
So for people who are born in September, the Aster and Morning Glory aren’t just pretty petals but a story. And as poet Jean Paul also said, “Flowers are the beautiful hieroglyphics of nature.” So what secrets do September’s flowers have to reveal? Let’s find out.
What Is the September Birth Flower?
September is special because it celebrates two beautiful birth flowers: Aster and Morning Glory. Both flowers are vibrant and carry deep meanings tied to the changing season as summer turns into autumn.
Asters are the more famous of the two, resembling daisies and coming in colors like purple, pink, blue, and white. Their name actually means “star” in Greek, which fits their starry look.
On the other hand, Morning Glories have bright, trumpet-shaped flowers that open in the morning and close by afternoon. While they might be a bit more delicate, their beauty and charm make them beloved as well.
September Birth Flower Meaning
The flowers representing September have meaningful meanings, so they represent much more than just a sight. Aster flowers, for instance, mean love, patience, knowledge, faith, beauty, and strength. In ancient times, it was believed Asters were capable of warding off evil and bringing good luck to the person who receives or wears them, so they were usually presented to the gods. Aster flowers are another great gift for people who are born in September because they are long-lasting and represent naturally occurring affection.
In contrast, Morning Glory flowers represent a multitude of deep feelings. Morning Glory flowers represent feelings of love, unrequited love, and the ephemeral essence of utilizing life in a way where every bloom lasts only 1 day. The fleeting aspect makes us realize how much we should embrace life and be sure to profess our love whenever we can. Morning Glory mends romantic feelings, personal growth, and emotional realizations, and feels harmonious with the Virgo and Libra zodiac signs, which are celebrated during the month of September.
