  • The name wrzesień is actually rooted in the word for 'heather', the plant known as wrzos in Polish. This suggests the month was originally associated with the blooming or presence of these purple wildflowers.
  • In the old Polish calendar, wrzesień was not always the ninth month because the year once began in March.
  • While English speakers use 'September' for both the month and the season's start, wrzesień is often associated with the Polish tradition of 'dożynki' or harvest festivals.
