“The windows are open, admitting the September breeze: a month that smells like notepaper and pencil shavings, autumn leaves and car oil. A month that smells like progress, like moving on.” ―Lauren Oliver
As kids return to school, the leaves start to change, and Labor Day arrives; September brings our transition to the fall season. Autumn often brings about a refocus of our priorities as the days get shorter, all of which begin in September. Did you know that September is the most birthday-packed time of year in the United States?
September 9th and 19th are two of the most popular birthdays for US babies! The odds are high that you know someone celebrating a birthday in September, so give them something using one of the September birth month flowers!
What is the birth month flower for September?
September’s birth month flowers are the aster and the morning glory. The bright hues of the aster symbolize powerful love, and according to some old wives’ tales, they were burnt to ward off serpents. Morning glories symbolize affection and are true to their name – the blooms open up in the morning and curl up to close later in the day.
Botanical Background of the Aster and Morning Glory
The Aster: Aster is from the family Asteraceae. There are around 170 species of this perennial flower, and they’re popular as garden plants because they’re so bright and colorful. Also, they can grow in all hardiness zones.
The Morning Glory: Containing at least 50 genera and more than 1000 species, the family of Morning Glory (Convolvulaceae) is often found decorating fences and trellises. Morning glories are most abundant in tropical America and Asia.
