How do you get inspired on someone’s birthday? The expert designers at Port Charlotte Florist take their inspiration from everything around them; the beautiful South Florida weather, the theme of the event, the personality of the recipient, or the attributes of that month’s birthstone. July birthdays are represented by the ruby, one of the four true gemstones and known for its glowing red hue. It is easy to get excited about creating floral displays that reflect this most precious of jewels because there are so many awesome flowers that can do the job.

The rarest ruby is one with a deep reddish/purplish hue, which is the iconic color everyone is familiar with. However, a ruby of this color quality seldom occurs naturally; in fact, most rubies sold commercially in modern times have been artificially enhanced. Because of this, throughout history whenever a true ruby was found, it was given to the king or the highest ruler in the land as it was exceptionally rare. To honor the exceptionally rare person in your life, give them a bouquet of ruby red roses in a luxurious arrangement.

If you think flowers are only for women, think again! Our floral artisans have been hard at work creating bouquets that not only speak to his male sensibilities but also reflect all the aspects of July. This arrangement showcases the ruby red of the July birthstone and also features the July birth flower – blue delphinium. Sure to be a big hit with then men in your life, this sports themed display is a compilation of the best things about summer.
