Sapphire: The Star of September


Before we get our hands dirty with flowers, let’s give some love to sapphire, the true gem of September! Did you know that sapphire belongs to the corundum family and boasts a whopping 9 on the Mohs scale? While blue is the most famous shade, sapphire can come in a rainbow of colors—thanks to trace elements like magnesium, titanium, and chromium! How amazing is that? It’s like having a gem that’s as unique as you are!

The Meaning & Magic of Sapphire


Sapphire isn’t just a pretty face; it’s packed with powerful symbolism. The name itself comes from the Latin word “saphirus” and the Greek word “sapheiros,” both translating to “blue.” But there’s more to sapphire than its stunning hue! Known as “the wisdom stone” and “the stone of prosperity,” sapphires are believed to guide you toward wisdom and success, helping you achieve your wildest dreams! Who wouldn’t want a gem like that in their life?           

Morning Glory: September’s Blooming Beauty


Now, let’s talk flowers! Morning glories are more than just pretty blooms—they’re September’s secret symbol of love! These trumpet-shaped flowers belong to the ipomoea genus family and have a fascinating routine: they bloom in the morning and close up shop by afternoon! With their heart-shaped petals, morning glories bring a burst of color and charm to any garden. Plus, they’re related to the potato—who knew a birth flower could be so versatile?

The Hidden Meanings Behind Morning Glory Colors


Morning glories don’t just come in one color; they’re a full-on floral rainbow, each hue with its own special meaning which are as follows:
  • Blue: Enduring love, desire, and power
  • Purple: Grace, hopefulness, and wealth
  • Pink: Gratitude and energy
  • Red: Passion and strength
  • White: Purity and innocence
But the overall theme? Love, in all its forms—whether it’s everlasting or unreturned. Ready for some fun facts: Yellowstone’s famous Morning Glory Pool was named after this flower back in the 1880s due to its striking resemblance. If you’re a fan of art, Georgia O’Keeffe’s “Blue Morning Glories” is a must-see masterpiece celebrating this stunning bloom!
