September’s birth flower is the beautiful and versatile aster, and aster is also the flower to celebrate a 20th anniversary!
Asters are a symbol of an all-powerful love, affection and wisdom. Asters are available in many colors, but are most commonly found with pink, white, red, mauve or lilac blooms.
The name aster originates from Greek word meaning star. Their name refers to the star-like shape of flower heads. Asters are also known as "frost flowers" because florists often use these flowers during the autumn and winter as a filling in their arrangements.
The flowers of aster used to be smoked in the past due to the widespread belief that smoke of this plant protects against evil spirits. Some aster species are used in treatment of migraine, common cold, muscle spasms and sciatica.
