The Aster flower is not only a beautiful flower, but it also comes with a rich history and symbolism that helps to make it even more meaningful for those who give and receive them.
The mythological origins of the Aster flower
According to ancient mythology, the goddess Astraea cried when she saw that there were no more stars in the sky. Aster flowers then bloomed where her tears fell. Many people find that the flower itself looks like a star, adding to the symbolism of this story.
