The flower of the month for August is the gorgeous Gladiolus. These beautiful Gladioli flowers bloom on a stem that ranges from 2 to 4 feet in length. These attractive flowers open from the bottom of the stem and continue to bloom to the top.
The blooms come in a large variety of colours, from red, pink and yellow to blood orange or pastel blues including many different bi-colour stems as well.
The Gladiolus symbolizes remembrance and honour, which is why it is widely known as a funeral flower. This breathtaking bloom can also represent strength of character, faithfulness, sincerity or integrity, infatuation and never giving up.
Gladioli are considered an "old-fashioned flower". Women often used plant these flowers at the backs of their gardens to give their flowerbeds a colourful backdrop.
They were also commonly planted along the foundation of homes or along fence lines, as some of the taller spirals need support to stand tall.
