Flower Column Vol. 19 | Aster

An autumn flower that bears the name of a star, carrying our heartfelt thoughts

Blooming from the end of summer through autumn, the "Aster" produces flowers as lovely as stars.
Its name comes from the Greek word for "star," derived from the way its petals resemble stars twinkling in the night sky.

Asters have long been known as flowers that carry deep meanings, such as "a trusting heart" and "reminiscence," serving as a presence that stays close to our feelings for others and our memories of the past.
Each color has a different flower language, making them perfect for arrangements tailored to the recipient and the occasion.

Flower language of the Aster (by color)
・"A trusting heart," "Memories," "Reminiscence" (General)
・Pink Aster: "Sweet dreams," "Gentle thoughts"
・Purple Aster: "Trust," "Respect"
・White Aster: "Believe in me," "Pure love"

Asters are also popular as autumn gifts, making them recommended for retirement gifts, anniversaries, and congratulatory flowers for stage performances.
You can subtly entrust messages like "a heart that believes" or "memories that will never be forgotten" to these flowers.

Asters are recommended for scenes such as:
・When you want to give a seasonal flower gift featuring flowers that bloom in autumn
・For retirement gifts or farewell parties where you want to express gratitude and trust
・When you want to add a unique touch to congratulatory stand flowers for stage performances or appearances
・As memorial flowers to honor a departed loved one and express gentle, quiet thoughts
