Iris flowers: Say hello to Iris and her 3 sisters. They are named after the goddess of the rainbow in Ancient Greek mythology because Irises come in a myriad of colors: white, yellow, orange, pink, purple, lavender, blue or brown.

…and those petals up front with the bright yellow spot…they serve as a “landing pad” for pollinators, directing them toward the nectar.🐝 ain’t #mothernature so smmmmmaaart?

…and do you know someone that has a persuasive speaking or writing ability? Gift them a bouquet of irises (spring and early summer time) because they symbolize eloquence. I have a few people in mind and I miss their leadership dearly 😢😢😢.

The purple iris flowers are symbolic of wisdom and compliments. Blue iris flower symbolizes faith and hope. Yellow iris flower symbolizes passion while white iris symbolizes purity.
