Aster — "Take Care of Yourself for Me"
(Farewell · Remembrance · Afterthought) 

Between the last warmth of summer and the hush of fall, the aster blooms—delicate, enduring, like a trace of life holding steady in the season of change. Neither loud nor hurried, it carries the grace of farewell, the quiet strength of loving from afar.

In medieval times, its petals were used not just for games of fate, but for seeking answers—plucked slowly by those on the edge of departure, each petal a promise or question. Where the daisy flirted with romance, the aster lingered in parting: a bloom for those who knew love might stretch across miles, or time.

In the Victorian language of flowers, the aster whispered what many hearts could not voice: “Take care of yourself for me.” A tender phrase exchanged not only between lovers, but friends, kin, and kindred souls facing distance. It is the ache of a suitcase packed, a letter sealed, a hug that holds too long.

In European lore, asters were laid upon graves with gentleness—not for sorrow, but for memory. To gift one was to say “I remember”… and “you still occupy my thoughts.”

In floriography, the aster speaks of remembrance, afterthought, and soft farewells.
Wear it as a keepsake of memory, a vow of care across distance, and a bloom that lingers long after the moment has passed.
