The July birth flower: the Larkspur
Larkspur, July's tall spired birth flower, carries meanings of an open heart and lightness of spirit, with each colour adding its own note. Its striking form makes larkspur one of the most popular birth-flower tattoos.
What the July birth flower means
In the Victorian language of flowers, the Larkspur carried the meaning of open heart, positivity and strong bonds. That is why it makes such a fitting birthday gift or tattoo for anyone born in July: it says something without needing words. The secondary July flower, the Water Lily, adds its own shade of meaning for those who want a second option.
Pairing the July flower with its birthstone
July's birthstone is Ruby, a vivid red gem. A Larkspur flower next to a Ruby stone is a natural birthday pairing, especially for jewellery, cards or tattoos that combine both. Anyone born this month also falls under Cancer or Leo. See the full July overview for everything together.
