September Flower of the Month: Aster

It is believed that birthday celebrations originated in the Roman Empire and the origins of birth month flowers, such as the Aster, could be said to date back to these times. During Roman birthday celebrations family and friends offered congratulations and brought gifts. The gifts included gemstone jewelry, such as the Sapphire, and also flowers - the first traditions and origins of the September Birth Flower.
If you are thinking about giving a gift to someone do not give them diet pills but give that Virgo in your life a bouquet of Asters!
