Cultural Significance Of September Birth Flowers

September is represented by two primary birth flowers, aster and morning glory. Both flowers carry rich cultural significance.

Aster is believed to symbolize love and faith. It has been cherished for centuries in various cultures. A few examples are:

  • Ancient Greece: Asters were associated with the stars, and hence, their name is derived from the Greek word “aster” for “star.” They are often linked to the concept of remembrance, making them popular in memorials. Aster also reflects the beauty of the changing seasons.
  • Victorian Era: Asters are elegant flowers that represent gentle charm, daintiness, and patience. In the Victorian era, asters were used to convey messages of reciprocated feelings.
  • Christianity: Asters are associated with the Virgin Mother Mary’s tears, representing virtuousness and purity. They symbolize divine love in Christian religious artworks.
  • Hungarian Aster Revolution: The aster flower became a political symbol during 1918’s Aster Revolution in Hungary, representing the people’s hopes for political reform and independence.

The morning glory comes with its own share of cultural symbolism. Here are a few instances:

  • Chinese Lore: A morning glory blooms in the morning and wilts by evening, representing the fleeting nature of beauty or love. It is associated with the popular Chinese lore of two forbidden lovers, cursed by the Gods to meet only once a year. The flower represents this fleeting reunion and its value.
  • Japanese Culture: Morning glory is associated with the fleeting nature of beauty, love, and life due to its brief blooming window. It has a similar representation in Greek culture.
  • Victorian Era: Morning glories represented unrequired love and expressed deep emotional anguish related to it.
  • Aztec Culture: The morning glory was believed to have magical powers. It was used in ritual practices, signifying spirituality and sacrifice.
  • Native American Beliefs: Some native American cultures view morning glories as a protective symbol against evil entities, thus symbolizing spirituality and resilience.
  • Hinduism: The morning glory is associated with the Lord Indra, who rules thunder, storms, and war. The flower is used in various Hindu traditions to symbolize purity and divine blessings.

Today, the morning glory broadly symbolizes affection and mortality while asters represent love, endurance, and persistance. Together, these flowers embody the cyclical nature of life, making them significant symbols for meaningful tattoos for those born in September. Check out the tattoos inspired by these flowers.
