September in Bangalore is a beautiful transition month. We’re bidding a fond farewell to the monsoon showers and welcoming the pleasant, crisp weather that follows. For us at Flowers by Design, this is an exciting time as the local markets are filled with blooms that thrive in this climate.
Here’s a look at what’s in season this month and how you can use these flowers in your home or for your next event.
The September Stars: Local and Seasonal Flowers
Marigolds (Genda Phool): These are a year-round favorite but truly shine as we head into the festive season. Their bright yellow and orange hues are perfect for garlands, rangolis, and traditional temple and home decor. They are a symbol of new beginnings and positive energy.
Asters: With their delicate, daisy-like appearance, asters are a beautiful addition to any arrangement. They come in a variety of colors, including purple, pink, and white, adding a touch of whimsy and elegance.
Hibiscus: While they bloom throughout the year, the hibiscus is especially lush and vibrant after the monsoon rains. Their bold, trumpet-like flowers add a tropical pop of color to any space, and they hold deep cultural significance in India.
Jasmine (Mallige/Mogara): The intoxicating fragrance of jasmine is a signature scent of this season. Their small, white blossoms are used in everything from bridal hair garlands (gajras) to religious offerings. They bring a fresh, sweet aroma to any setting.
Inspiration from the Garden City
Bangalore’s climate makes it a haven for a wide variety of flowers. When we create designs at Flowers by Design, we love to incorporate these local beauties. Their freshness is unmatched, and they help us create arrangements that feel both vibrant and authentic to our city.
DIY Decor Idea for Your Home
To bring a bit of this month’s charm into your home, try this simple arrangement:
Gather your blooms: Pick up a bunch of jasmine, a few stems of asters, and a handful of marigold flowers from your local market.
Use a small vase: A glass jar or a simple bowl works perfectly.
Create your arrangement: Float the marigold and jasmine flowers in the water, and place the asters in a small cluster to create a beautiful, multi-layered look.
This simple arrangement will not only be visually appealing but will also fill your home with a delightful, natural fragrance.
