July Birth Flower: Larkspur

Our Larkspur have already come and gone.  Always precarious in early spring, it takes me awhile to distinguish between weed and bloom.  Over the years, I’ve ripped up a few plants before I realized. Larkspur are easy, hardy, and often in the wildflower mixes that you can buy inexpensively and sprinkle out of a can and might be a good choice for a memorial garden.

Larkspur is the July birth flower and symbolizes laughter, energy, and relaxation. You could even decorate with a small garden stone, like the river rock that looks natural and would blend in without looking like a grave yard. The nice thing about these stones are you can have them personalized with names and dates if you want.
