"Iris flower history dates back to Ancient Greece and relevant drawings are still visible in a number of ancient palaces. According to Greek mythology, Iris was the messenger of the gods, a connection between heaven and mortal human beings here on earth. Iris was the goddess of the rainbow and beautiful flowers sprouted wherever Iris stepped. Purple or dark blue iris have been a symbol of royalty in European countries throughout history. The beautiful iris flower, or fleur-de-lis, is the national flower of France. A reminder of the French revolution, fleur-de-lis holds a place of importance in the culture of New Orleans, Louisiana." - gradeningknowhow "Iris are a genus of the wider Iridacaeae family, alongside gladiolus, crocus and freesias amongst many others. They grow all over the temperate parts of the northern hemisphere in an extraordinary wide range of habitats from the waterside and bogs to high mountainous areas and deserts. It is also, after the rose family, the most complex group of plants in terms of genetics. There are approximately 260-300 members of the genus, all herbaceous or semi-evergreen, although some have bulbs, while others have rhizomes. It’s not really surprising that Theophrastus named them after the goddess of the rainbow for they come in virtually every colour except true red." - ('the garden history') There are always flowers for those who want to see them... - Henri Matisse
