Is white cosmos your birthday flower?

One of the three flowers of October 14th annually is white cosmos flowers. There is also another date for all cosmos flowers, but the 14th is reserved for the white color only. White cosmos flowers are elegant, easy-to-grow plants that add beauty and tranquillity to any garden.

In Japan, you will hear people call cosmos flowers "akizakura", autumn cherry blossoms, even though there are actual cherry blossoms that grow in Autumn! In the "hanakotoba" (language of flowers) cosmos are said to represent "harmony", "humility" and "maiden's sincerity". But white cosmos have their own language too, which is said to be "grace"/ "graceful".

You are in luck if white cosmos is your birthday flower as the cosmos flowers are in bloom in many parts of Japan right now. They typically bloom in October. In Japan, by and large, flower picking is frowned upon unless you have permission to do so. The good news is, many of the cosmos fields around Japan have a section where you are permitted to pick the cosmos. Sometimes it is free, sometimes you have to pay a fee.
