Waterlilies are just one of the birth flowers for July. the other is the larkspur. But what does each flower mean or represent?
The larkspur, also known as delphinium, come in several colors: blue, purple, pink, & white. Each color has its own meaning aside from the general meanings, which will be listed below. Below is a graphic from showing the different colors and their meanings:
