August Birth Flowers Explained Gladiolus Gladiolus are tall, striking flowers that symbolize strength, integrity, moral virtue, and infatuation. The name comes from the Latin word gladius, meaning sword, referring to the shape of their leaves and flower spikes. Gladiolus flowers bloom from bottom to top along the stem, symbolizing steady progress and building strength. In August, when these flowers reach their dramatic peak, they command attention in any garden or arrangement, representing the full power and confidence of midsummer. Poppy Poppies are bold, dramatic flowers that symbolize pleasure, imagination, success, and creative dreams. Their large, silky petals and striking centers make them unforgettable. Across cultures and centuries, poppies have inspired artists, writers, and dreamers. Where gladiolus reach skyward with military precision, poppies dance with artistic freedom, creating a perfect balance of strength and creativity that defines August energy.
