Birth Flower

July Birth Flower: Larkspur

Every month of the year has its own birth flower, and with it a language of flowers — a quiet vocabulary of meaning that people have attached to blooms for centuries. This collection pairs each month with its traditional flower, the sentiment that flower has long carried, and the personality traits it is said to reflect in those born under it. Think of it as a gentle, seasonal mirror rather than a fixed rule. Find your birth month below to meet your flower and the qualities tradition ties to it.

A flower said to mean an open heart, light cheerfulness, and strong attachment.

Like the larkspur that raises its tall stem straight toward the midsummer sky, you who are born this month are seen as one who opens your heart wide and reaches a hand toward the world. Like that flower resembling the blue of the sky, a clear and refreshing candor and a cheerfulness that draws people in are said to dwell in you together. Like the stem that grows straight upward, you are believed to possess the spirit to advance unhesitatingly toward your own direction.

In love, you are said to be one who approaches brightly, without hiding your heart. Your light cheerfulness in expressing fondness honestly is your charm, yet you also hold a strong heart that immerses itself deeply once attachment is formed. So that these two grains do not clash, being mindful of the balance between freedom and attachment will, it is advised, make a relationship feel at ease.

Looking at your work and talents, you are seen as one with the flexibility to take in new ideas without reservation through open thinking. You bring out your greatest power when you stretch out freely rather than being confined to a frame, so you need not fear varied attempts. When calming your mind, give yourself, who resembles a stem swaying as it grows tall, a little time to let the wind rest. Lightness and firmness, it is said, can go together.
