July Flowers - Delphinium, Waterlily, Honeysuckle
Delphinium - Larkspur is a genus of about 300 species. The Delphinium derives from the ancient Greek word which means dolphin - a name meant for Larkspur - the plant received this name because the flower or plant shape looks similar to a dolphins shape.

All members of the Delphinium species are toxic to humans and livestock. Use gloves while gardening. Do not eat this plant.
Delphinium attracts butterflies and bees :)
Larkspur is found in rocky places high in the mountains of Washingtons and Oregon. It flowers in July and August. I saw it growing in Colorado when I lived there.
Delphinium symbolizes cheerfulness and goodwill, as well as a protective plant. Delphiniums are used to communicate encouragement and joy, as well as remembering loved ones who have passed. Delphiniums are also the official birth flower for July.
