August – Gladiolus & Poppy

Gladiolus flowers are one of the most beautiful flowers out there, with their striking blossoms and stunning pointe tips. They are extremely popular in the late summer and bloom in a wide range of colors. “Gladiolus” comes from the Latin word gladius, which stands for “sword”.

The flower’s name is roughly translated to “sword lily”. Gladiolus flowers are the symbol of strength, moral integrity, and generosity. The other August flower is the poppy, and it has different meanings all over the world.

Poppy stands for relaxation and recovery, as they have been known to offer calming, healing effects since ancient times. Even more recently, the red poppies are the symbol of Remembrance for WW1 and hope for a more peaceful future.

    Really lovely flowers whcih they show for every month,friends.Kudos,and God bless them.

  • Nice article idea. Sincerely, and the seasonal timming is perfect. But when there’s only 1 picture, and 2 small paragraphs and everything else is advertising it’s very annoying. No mention of what the month’s flowers actually are or their individual meaning. Hope you correct this.
    Sincerely
