What are September's birth month flowers?

If you've ever wondered, "Do all months have two birth flowers?" the short answer is no. Most months do feature two birth flowers - a primary and a secondary bloom - though some, like January and April, are represented by just one.

September, however, is fortunate to have two stunning flowers: the aster and the morning glory. This gives those born in September even more ways to connect with the symbolic meanings of their birth flowers. 

Each of these flowers carries its own unique symbolism and charm, making them perfect for various occasions, from birthdays to weddings. 

What do asters symbolise?

Asters, known for their star-like shape, are often associated with love, wisdom, and faith. Their rich history dates back to ancient Greece, where they were believed to have magical properties.

So, what do asters mean for those born in September? They symbolise deep emotional love, patience, and a connection to the divine. Asters come in various colours, each with its own specific meaning - purple for wisdom, white for purity, and pink for sensitivity.

These blooms are perfect for conveying heartfelt emotions and make a lovely addition to any home or event.

What do morning glories symbolise?

Morning glories, with their vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers, bloom in the early hours of the day, capturing the essence of new beginnings.

But what do morning glories mean in the context of September birth flowers?

They represent affection, resilience, and the fleeting beauty of life. Morning glories remind us to cherish the moments that bring us joy and to embrace new opportunities. Their stunning colours, from deep blues to bright purples, add a touch of natural beauty wherever they’re used.
