The birth #flowers for #July are the water lily, sweet pea and delphinium. This month was named in honour of the Roman 'imperator' Julius Caesar, but it was also known in olden times as 'thunder-moneth' because there were often thunder storms at this time of the year. #folklore

The memorial can be found on the wall in Poets' Corner.
