September Birthflower - Aster
September’s birth flower is the Aster. Asters come in bright colours with long, thin petals around a bright yellow centre.
Asters typically bloom in the fall and appear in clusters. The name for this flower, aster, comes from a Greek word for“star.” In ancient times, this flower was also thought to have magical powers.
While the aster represents love and fragility, it also can stand for different things depending on its colour.
Asters come in red, blue, purple, white and pink. Purple asters are the most common and signify royalty and wisdom. White asters, like many white flowers, symbolise innocence, purity, and fresh starts.

Birth Stone for September
Birthstones are gems that accompany each month and have special meanings and historical significance to them.
Birthstones date back to ancient times and were inspired by the 12 gemstones on the breastplate of the High Priest of the Israelites in the Bible.
The National Association of Jewellers created a modern birthstone chart, on top of the traditional chart, in 1912. This new chart features more gem options the traditional list, and new stones are added to it regularly.
September has one birthstone, the sapphire, which is the same across both the traditional and modern birthstone charts.
September Birthstone - Sapphire
Sapphires come in various colours, with rich cobalt blue being the most common variety.
This stone has been cherished for years and has a large historical significance. In the 17th century, it was said that wearing sapphire would allow people to see the future. In the 15th century, people believed that holding a sapphire near spiders would kill them!
According to the International Coloured Gem Association, sapphire is associated with divinity and can provide the wearer with clarity and wisdom.
This gem is also believed to have healing properties. Some believe that sapphire strengthens the heart muscles and provides courage. Sapphires are also believed to protect against evil.
Today, this gem is known to symbolise faith, purity and wisdom.
