July Birth Flower: Larkspur and Water Lily
Painted on a 5” x 4” piece of slate.
Larkspur is the common name given to perennial species of Delphinium and annual species of Consolida. Delphinium, in turn, comes from the Latin word for dolphin, and refers to the shape of the nectary, the nectar-filled spur of the flower. And larkspur? That’s because it resembles the bird’s long hind claw. Given as a birth flower for July, the larkspur signifies love and joy.
The water lily is full of symbolic significance in many cultures. It is particularly associated with rebirth and enlightenment.
