What Are the July Birth Flowers?
As previously discussed, there are two birth flowers for July: larkspur and water lily. This provides more variety and choices for individuals to associate with their birth month. Having two flowers for the month allows people to choose a strong connection based on colour, appearance, meaning, and symbolism. The larkspur and water lily epitomize the peak of summer with their vivid hues and enchanting allure.
July Primary Birthday flower – Larkspurs / Delphiniums
Delphiniums, also referred to as larkspur, are part of the Ranunculaceae family and are characterized by their tall spikes of striking, spurred flowers and deeply lobed leaves. They grow upright with single or multiple unbranched stems, reaching heights of 2-8 feet, depending on the variety. These flowers symbolize cheerfulness, goodwill, joy, and beauty and typically bloom from June to September. Larkspurs are frequently used to add visual appeal to bouquets and vases. They are available in various colours like pink, purple, white, and blue. Each flower has five petals and a spur in the center. The blooms are available in both single and double varieties.
Larkspur Meanings and Symbolism
• The larkspur holds significant symbolism, representing positivity, loving bonds, dedication, sincerity, light-heartedness, and youth.
• Each colour of larkspur signifies a different emotion. They are often elusive, with blue representing dignity and grace, pink symbolizing fickleness, white signifying happiness and joy, and purple indicating first love.
Caution: The larkspur plant, though beautiful, is poisonous to humans and animals if consumed.
July Secondary Birthday Flower- Water Lily
The water lily is known for floating atop ponds and is said to symbolize innocence, purity, fertility, and peace. After four days of flowering, water lilies will settle under the water, making them more unique. The water lily symbolizes purity and innocence. It belongs to the Nymphaeaceae family and is a perennial plant. There are two kinds of water lilies: hardy and tropical.
Water lilies exhibit two distinct blooming habits: day blooming, in which flowers open in the mid-morning and close by late afternoon, and night blooming, in which they open at dusk and close the following morning. It’s interesting to note that hardy water lilies belong to the day-blooming category.
Did you know that the beautiful water lily comes from the Amazon? Unlike most flowers that grow in the ground, water lilies prefer to grow in calm water like lakes, ponds, and even aquariums. The Amazon water lily is special because it grows lily pads that can be as wide as 8 feet across. Its flowers start out white and then change to pink while they bloom, but they only stay in bloom for a few days
Water Lily Meanings and Symbolism
Tropical water lilies offer an impressive range of large, fragrant blooms in classic white and a variety of other colors, showcasing their depth of beauty. Their interlocking petals and longer blooms make for a stunning display, available in pink, white, yellow, and red tones.
- Pink water lilies signify joy and friendship.
- Red water lilies represent passion and romance, while blue ones symbolize calm and wisdom.
- Yellow water lilies stand for energy and new beginnings.
- In Buddhism and Hinduism, water lilies symbolize resurrection and rebirth as they open and close daily. These beautiful flowers are also seen as a representation of enlightenment in Buddhism, as they emerge from the dark and dirty floor below the water’s surface.
These flowers are not common. However, Asiatic and Oriental lilies are a great alternative to water lilies. They are considered the best flowers to give to someone born in July. A bouquet of lily made with freshly plucked flowers is available at Balcktulip flowers in Qatar, which you can easily schedule for an online delivery. Besides, if you are in a love relationship with someone born in July, roses are always the evergreen option.
