July's birth flowers are larkspur and water lily. Contact Chappell’s Florist in Burlington to find the perfect gift for that special someone in your life!

Larkspur

The name Larkspur came from the Tudors. This was due to the bloom's similarity to a lark's spur. According to the Greeks, this flower bloomed where the blood of ajax was spilled in the battle of Troy.

In England, people believed that they could protect themselves from ghosts and magic by sprinkling the larkspur in their bathwater. They are known as a protective plant to repel poisonous snakes and cure scorpion stings.

The larkspur comes in a spectrum of colors from purple, indigo, pink, white, and much more. The pink represents fickleness, white for happiness, blue for dignity and grace, and purple for first love.

The larkspur generally symbolizes strong love, positivity, and an open heart.

Water Lily

This is the second July birth flower. Water lilies are lotus-like flowers. They symbolize rebirth, purity, and enlightenment. It's common to find these flowers floating on top of water within May and early September.
