Sending flowers to someone on their birthday is always a hit! Gazing at beautiful flowers will create birthday memories to hold close to heart, especially if your recipient works at a desk job. There’s nothing better than having your beautiful birthday gift greet you with it’s vibrant colors every morning when you walk into your office. It’s like celebrating a birthday week instead of just a birthday!
For a July birthday, summer flowers are especially sweet. Just because it’s hot outside, doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy beautiful blooms inside. Office flowers are an instant mood changer, and summer flowers always do the trick!
How do you send flowers for a July birthday?

The official birthday flower for July is the larkspur or delphinium. Their vivid colors, especially the blue blooms, are spectacular and look luscious when paired with ruby-reds! (July’s birthstone is Ruby) Below are examples of beautiful larkspur arrangements you can send from your local florist.
(Simply click an arrangement above and add a sending zip code. Flower Shop Network will connect you to a real local florist to send the order. It’s that simple!)

What’s The July Birth Month Flower?

Try The "Thinking of You" Bouquet with Larkspur
I won’t keep you guessing. The July birth month flower is the larkspur. Of course, regular readers probably remember this from last year’s July Birth Month Flower blog. For those who haven’t gone back that far, here’s a head’s up.
The official birth month flowers of July are the larkspur and the water lily. You’re not going to see many florists with water lily arrangements so most people tend to use larkspur instead. This is great though! Larkspur is gorgeous in birthday flower bouquets. It adds height and shape while looking as beautiful as any flower has a right to be.
What wasn’t mentioned in last year’s blog are the flower colors and flower meanings associated with the birth month flowers of July. Did you send birth month flowers last year? Send them again this year but add another dash of whimsy and character to the bouquet by using just birth month flowers in these colors: green, russet and red. The flower meaning of larkspur is “laughter” or “levity.” Who wouldn’t want to send something so cheerful?
Whatever bouquet you choose to send this year, make sure you ask your local florist about using larkspur in the flower arrangement!

Birth Flowers For The Month Of July
July 23, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Yesterday was my birthday and I received many lovely flowers and gifts over the course of the weekend. I have one friend in particular who believes every birthday present should truly represent the day. One year she got me a birthday newspaper — a copy of the New York Times on the day I was born. This year she gave me a beautiful larkspur flower arrangement. Larkspur (Consolida ajacis) is the birth month flower for July.
Larkspur is a beautiful annual flower and a cousin of delphinium. This flower has been cultivated as a fresh cut flower. It also makes a great dried flower or garden plant. The mid to dark foliage is feathery, soft and downy. The upright blooms are similar to the blooms of delphinium. The flowers are densely packed on the larkspur bloom spikes. The color palette for larkspur contains pastels shades of pinks and rich tones of pink, white and violet blue.
If you have family or friends with a birthday this month try sending them a flower arrangement containing larkspur.
How do you celebrate July? Have you ever used larkspur the birth month flower as a way to celebrate the month?
Astrological Flowers For A July Birthday.
July 19, 2007 by Leave a Comment
July is the month of my birth. As my birthday approaches, I think back to when I was a kid and how enthralled I was with astrology. My birthday is July 22nd and is what they call on the cusp — meaning the changing from one astrological sign to another. My zodiac sign is Cancer and the day after my birthday the zodiac sign is Leo. I thought it would be interesting to see what flowers are associated with my astrological sign.
I found these astrological flowers for Cancer birthdays (June 22 to July 22): cornflower (Centaurea cyanus), Ammi (Queen Anne’s lace), delphinium, ferns, plumbago, hydrangea and iris. So if you know someone with a birthday during this time frame have your florist incorporate one of these astrological flowers in their birthday bouquet.
Make a Leo (July 23-August 22) happy with one of these flowers; marigold, gerbera, dahlia or sunflower.
