What is the September birth month flower?
September is a significant month for many. Cosy, autumn nights are on the way, kids are heading back to school, Virgo season is in full swing and there are plenty of lovely late summer/early autumn flowers to enjoy. Morning glory is the September birth flower. Morning glories are adorable little flowers full of colour that represent love, affection and longing. While morning glories are a little unknown to most, they’ve been used as medicine and as important symbols for hundreds of years, especially in China. According to an old Chinese legend, these flowers represent the one day a year where forbidden lovers, Chien Niu and Chih Neu, were permitted to meet after the gods grew angry at them for neglecting their duties to be together.

Does September have two birth month flowers?
Yes! September has two birth month flowers, the morning glory and the aster. Which means another pretty flower to add to your bouquet. Yay! Asters are wonderfully vibrant wildflowers, ranging from white and red to pink and yellow. They'll easily brighten up any bouquet, especially during the autumn months! These little, dainty blooms have a big, rich history behind them and a Greek legend telling the story of how they got their name. Asters were named after the Greek word for ‘star’. Because, when the Greek god, Astraea, was upset by how few stars there were in the sky she started to cry. And where her tears hit the ground, they turned into asters.
