Flower meanings
Aster: patient, lasting love
Named for the Greek word for star, the aster is the flower of wisdom and patient love. It blooms late, when most flowers are finished, so it carries the idea of affection that lasts past the easy season.
What a aster looks like
Many fine narrow petals radiating from a gold centre, closer to a star than a disc. It reads as a smaller, more delicate daisy and fills space without flattening the arrangement.
When people send asters
September birthdays, long-distance friendships, and love that has been waiting a while. Asters bloom after everything else has finished, and the gesture carries that.
