All About August Birth Flowers

August is a month to capture the essence of sunny, late summer days! This is the time where one could not express much of his/her feelings because this month is one of the busiest month of the year. But knowing how beautiful August birth flowers are will make you stop and look at it.

August birth flowers are Gladiolus and Poppy. These might not be too popular flowers but learn how these became so special for August.

Gladiolus flower or ‘sword lily’ represents remembrance, calm, integrity, and infatuation. Gladiolus speaks for the heart that is being “pierced with love.”  What makes this flower special is its elegance in a vase is equally beautiful in gardens. This flower also comes in gorgeous colors, ranging from white, yellow, pink and lavender, to rose, burgundy, purple and even green which are beautifully grown, fresh, and bright that could overwhelm you once you see them.

This flower is also unique in that its flowers grow from a tall spike lined with sharp leaves. These sharp leaves have something to do with its old name gladiators. During Ancient Rome, gladiators would fight “to the death of gladioli” and the crowd would cover the winner in colorful gladioli flowers.

The second birth flower of August is Poppy. The best word that could describe this flower is bright and bold and is globally used for landscaping. These beautiful flowers come in three colors-white, red, and yellow which also comes with interesting meanings and symbolism. the white poppy represents consolation, red poppy represents happiness, and yellow poppy represents prosperity.

Poppy is not just a flower, but it is extremely common and often associated with remembrance and appreciation for those who lost their lives in World War I. It is also a symbol of imagination, wealth, and success.
