When I was a kid, the flower for August was gladiolus, as you have written. However, in the past ~15 years, I see poppy used a lot more often. Do you have any idea why the change?
Kelli, it seems like the whole thing is kind of florist-driven, much like v-day is commercially driven. A lot of the references I found to birth flowers were from places selling flowers. I wonder if poppies have become easier to farm or maybe cheaper...anyhow, just a guess (a really bahumbug guess, eh?) lol It could be something completely different!
