What Is the Birth Flower for August?

If you're celebrating someone with an August birthday — or reflecting on someone born during the last stretch of summer — you might be wondering: what is the birth flower for August?

August is represented by two bold, expressive blooms: the gladiolus and the poppy. Each one carries powerful meaning and energy.

Gladiolus symbolizes strength, love and moral integrity. With tall stems and striking petals, it’s a flower for someone who stood tall through life’s challenges — a warrior in their own right.

Gladiolus — August’s Birth Flower

The Gladiolus Ornament by Forged Flare® is a 3.5" wooden Mother's Angels® figurine with a halo, open wings, and rope for hanging. Its body has a stained-glass style gladiolus flower—the August birth flower—with green leaves.

The poppy, on the other hand, stands for remembrance and peace. Often associated with honoring veterans, it’s a lovely way to honor someone whose spirit lingers in your heart and thoughts.

Poppy — August’s Birth Flower

The Forged Flare® Mother's Angels® 3.5" Poppy Ornament is a wooden angel figurine with stained glass wings and a red poppy design, perfect for gifting or your Amazon finds. Includes hanging string; photographed on a white background.

Just a heads-up: the image at the top of this post isn’t a real photo — it was created using Adobe Firefly. We’re a couple of tech geeks at heart and love using AI tools to help set the vibe. It’s a dreamy, artistic interpretation of the birth flower — not meant to be botanically perfect, just beautifully inspired.
