September is that time of the year when you see the soft changes like summer slowly fading into autumn; and indeed, the birth flowers of this month-Aster and Morning glory-represent love, wisdom, and renewal. These flowers perfectly represent the thoughtful souls of those born in September, who are instead down-to-earth, gentle, and have an inner quiet strength.
The Aster with its star-shaped bloom has to do with elegance, patience, and love. The Morning Glory, which opens in the day to let the sun in and closes in the night, translates its meaning into that of love, suppressed feelings, and the beauty in the fleeting moments in life.
Why These Flowers Represent September
Aster
Its name is derived from the Greek word “aster,” which means star. This flower is considered a talisman of love and wisdom. Just as aster blooms late summer and early fall, so does a September baby shine in quiet, magical ways.
Morning Glory
This dainty flower opens at sunrise and closes with the sunset; it embodies the present moment and opens the heart to feelings that are sometimes unsaid.
These two flowers reflect the personality slice of September: introspective, loyal, and boundlessly connected to nature and emotion.
