September marks a time of transition, as summer gives way to autumn. This unique month is celebrated with two birth flowers: the wise aster and the hopeful morning glory. Both carry rich symbolism of love, wisdom, hope, and renewal, making them timeless choices for gifts, décor, and personal expression. In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about September birth flowers, their meanings and symbolism, personality.
What Are the September Birth Flowers?
The aster and morning glory are the traditional birth flowers for September and each have their own meanings and associations.
Aster:
Aster translates from the Greek word for star, and these star-shaped flowers are renowned for their late summer and early fall display of color in gardens, in purple, pink, white and blue. Just as many other summer blooms begin to fade, asters offer a final, spectacular flourish of beauty. Their resilience and late-season vibrancy make them a powerful symbol of endurance and a cherished farewell to summer.
Morning Glory:
With trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in the morning and night, morning glories represent the fleeting nature of life, the new day, and thus hope at the start of each new day. Their flowers range in vibrant shades of blue, purple, pink and red and can climb trellises, fences and garden walls, bringing color and motion to your garden.
What Do September Birth Flowers Symbolize?
Flowers are not just for decorating purposes; they have meaning. Both asters and morning glories have strong symbolism that connects well to people born in September.
Asters:
Asters are the symbols of love, wisdom and patience. In Greek mythology, asters were born from divine tears. The goddess Astraea wept for a world without stars, forever associating these flowers with celestial love and protection.
In the Victorian language of flowers, asters were given as a gift of refined appreciation. Purple asters are a symbol of dignity and royalty, and white asters are a symbol of purity and innocence. Because they flower late in the season when many flowers have faded, asters are also known for symbolizing constancy and loyalty, which makes them the classic flowers for bouquets and celebrations that have a more permanent meaning.
Morning Glories:
Morning glories are a symbol of love, rebirth and fleeting beauty. Their fleeting bright and colorful bloom reminds us that every day is a gift and renewal is welcome. Because they are born with the sun, they are more often associated with optimism and creativity.
In Chinese folklore, they are linked to a tale about two lovers who could only meet once a year, and so have come to symbolize love, longing and precious moments. In Victorian symbolism they were used to represent love and long-lasting relationships too.
Together, asters and morning glories echo the themes of endurance and renewal that prevail in September and are relevant to both individual festivities and those that are shared.
September Birth Flower Meanings & Personality
For those who are born in September, the aster and morning glory are linked to special personality traits that are linked to their seasonal nature.
Aster Energy:
Aster people are gentle, patient, wise and thoughtful. Like asters that bloom late in the year when many flowers have faded, these people are certain and comforting in times of change. They are loyal and consistent companions who provide quiet support and are dependable friends, partners and caregivers.
With their gentle disposition and regal demeanor, aster personalities emanate an aura of comfort and balance, reminding us that true power lies not in grandeur or fleeting moments but in humility and resilience.
Morning Glory Touch:
People who are connected to the morning glory feel creative, energetic, and optimistic. Like the flower that blooms in the morning and withers in the evening, they live their lives with intensity and encourage others to live each day to the fullest. They are constantly seeking new ideas and opportunities, and they have an infectious enthusiasm.
Their growing vertical nature reflects ambition and persistence once they have set their sights on a goal, they just keep moving. Morning glory personalities are vibrant, creative, and bold and leave lasting impressions even if their bursts of energy come in waves.
Why September Artificial Flowers Are Trending?
Artificial flowers are no longer considered to be tacky. Thanks to modern materials such as silk, latex, and premium plastic, today’s faux flowers are virtually indistinguishable from fresh flowers. Both morning glories and asters attain the peak of their development in September, and so are especially popular in manufactured floral arrangements for their delicate texture and vivid colors.
Durability & Weatherproofing:
Asters & morning glories are fragile flowers that tend to wilt after a day or two, especially when used outdoors in direct sunlight or in hot, windy conditions. High-performance fabrics and synthetic materials impregnated with UV protection resists fading, cracking and fraying.
This guarantees that the arrangements will stay colorful and fresh-looking from the start of an occasion till the very finish. They can be placed under the glaring sun at a garden wedding or exposed to windy conditions at an open-air reception. Weather resistance is one of the most desirable properties in long-lasting decoration.
All Season Availability:
Asters and morning glories are naturally September flowers, meaning fresh versions of the flowers are difficult to find outside of the late summer and early fall season. With artificial flowers, this limitation is removed. They are available throughout the year, so people can use September themed arrangements for birthdays, anniversaries or even weddings regardless of the season.
This availability also provides convenience for designers and planners who can count on these blooms to be accessible throughout the year without concerns for shipping delays, harvesting uncertainties, or seasonal unavailability.
Material Versatility:
The realism of modern artificial flowers is achieved through the use of different types of high-quality materials, each of which contributes to the overall quality and realism of the final product. Soft silk petals that have a natural drape take great indoor arrangements. Latex coatings make a realistic touch, almost like fresh petals, and add visual dimension to wispy flowers such as morning glories. PE or plastic stems are flexible and unbreakable, so they can be easily bent and arranged. Together, these materials make it easy to create beautiful yet strong designs that can suit a small indoor area or a larger-scale outdoor installation.
Cost-Effectiveness:
Fresh asters and morning glories can be a bit pricey, especially if you’re ordering in large quantities for weddings or corporate events. Worse, they only last a few days, making for waste and extra expense buying replacements. Synthetic counterparts can be a bit more expensive (especially the premium silk or latex options) at first. But you can use them for years if stored properly.
Because a single set of flowers can be used for multiple occasions, seasons, or even recycled as a permanent home or office decorating solution, they are also cost-effective for many customers. But in the long run, the savings are considerable compared to purchasing fresh flowers over and over again.
Eco-Friendly and Reusable:
Sustainability has become a key factor for many buyers. Unlike fresh flowers that are tossed out with every use, fake asters and morning glories can be used again for future events. A bouquet used at a wedding can later be used as a centerpiece in the home, or cascading arch decorations can be re-used for seasonal decor.
By increasing the longevity of artificial flowers, they can help to reduce waste and the use of natural resources. High quality artificial flowers and blooms made from long-lasting silk, latex, and PE materials can be enjoyed for years, making them a more environmentally friendly option.
Allergy-Friendly & Low Maintenance:
Fresh flowers can cause allergies due to the pollen they carry, which may be a major problem at weddings, offices, or large social gatherings. False asters and morning glories contain no pollen at all, so they are safe to enjoy for all ages without discomfort.
Also, they need virtually no maintenance except for occasional dusting. No watering, pruning or replacement of dead stems needed. This makes them particularly popular with busy households, event planners and corporate locations where the maintenance needs to be kept to a minimum but the visual impact of fresh flowers is important.
By blending the timeless symbolism of asters and morning glories with the benefits of modern craftsmanship, long-lasting materials, and practical benefits, artificial flowers offer customers the best of both worlds: lasting beauty and real functionality.
