Asters stand for wisdom, faith and enduring love, while morning glories — blooming fresh each dawn and fading by afternoon — speak of affection that is fleeting yet utterly sincere. Together they bridge summer's end and autumn's beginning.

September-born people are thoughtful, composed and remarkably constant in their relationships. They may seem quiet, but like a morning glory at sunrise they show up early and faithfully for the things that matter.
Aster is simply the Greek word for star, and myth says the flowers sprang up where the star goddess Astraea wept. Morning glories, meanwhile, were the great horticultural craze of Edo-period Japan — Tokyo's Iriya morning glory fair carries the tradition on every summer.
Asters add starry accents to any autumn bouquet. A morning glory seed kit is a lovely slow gift: a small joy that opens with every summer sunrise.
