July Names of Flowers
(In the illustration the traditional English flower is closest to the bottom, the traditional Chinese flower is closest to the middle and the traditional Japanese flower is at the top.)
July is peak summer, so it's no wonder that flowers representing this month are born of water and air to cool and refresh. Water lilies and lotuses, both revered as symbols of heavenly sun and light. Mountain clover evokes lushness and fresh mountain air. English Calendar = Water Lily Chinese Calendar = Lotus (Lien Hua) symbol of Perfection and Purity Japanese Calendar = Mountain Clover (Hagi)
