HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FAVORITE YAPPER!!

AKECHI TOUMA!

Now what I'm more excited to show is his brother flower(s)

Does September have two birth month flowers?

Yes! September has two birth month flowers, the morning glory and the aster. Which means another pretty flower to add to your bouquet. Yay! Asters are wonderfully vibrant wildflowers, ranging from white and red to pink and yellow. They'll easily brighten up any bouquet, especially during the autumn months!

Let's start with the asters first!

ASTER FLOWERS

Origins

The humble aster is a misunderstood flower. They're often confused with daisies, and some even consider them to be weedy because of how easily they grow. These little, dainty blooms have a big, rich history behind them and a Greek legend telling the story of how they got their name. Asters were named after the Greek word for ‘star’. Because, when the Greek god, Astraea, was upset by how few stars there were in the sky she started to cry. And where her tears hit the ground, they turned into asters. Cool story right?

Meaning and symbolism

In general, asters are considered to symbolize love, affection, and wisdom. In the Victorian flower language, they also carried the meaning of daintiness, patience, and charm. However, the specific color of an aster can change its meaning.

Flower language

And thats all the information i can provide! (*^▽^*)

Tell me what you think about this one? Should i do the next 5th of September flower (morning glory?)

Fun fact!

Did you know that because of asters happy, positive vibes, they were once used to ward off evil spirits and negative energy? So if you’re a superstitious person, having these pretty flowers around will definitely give you peace of mind.

These flowers can't convey my words, so all I offer is a gentle purr.

These are so pretty! I especially love Draco's eyes and nose (and his hair of course, and thank you for painting his eyebrows the same colour as his hair!). I'll have to look into the flower symbolism, I love that stuff!

Eta: the more I look at Draco's portrait, the more I love it. Very striking composition and colours!

I originally planned these as pendant portraits/a diptych of sorts but I got impatient & posted the Draco one early lol. It’s ok though, they’re together now 😌

A common theme I think you'll find with me is that I really do like drawing them with flowers.

[image id: A traditional drawing of three dark skinned torsos with the arms cut off in the middle off the upper arm. The first torso has blood dripping from the arms and you can see the flesh in its neck. It is facing to the left in a 3/4 angle. It has a droopy chest and around it's waist there are bandages floating. It is lit up with a yellow light from the right. The second torso is wearing a white chestbinder and there is alot less blood dripping from the arms. It has black hair on it's stomach and in its neck there is only darkness. On it's shoulders there are sprouts growing. It has hair on it's stomach and the light is shining down from above. The third torso is facing 3/4 to the right and has bigger sprouts on it's shoulders and out of the neck there are dandelions growing. One of them is a seed puff being blown to the right. On it's chest you can see a top surgery scar. Yellow light is shining on it from the left.

Second image: a closeup on the first torso.
