.Irises are very beautiful, they flower in late Spring and early Summe in my garden I The most commonly found garden iris is the bearded German Iris and its numerous cultivars. I also grow the lovely graceful Siberian iris
.The artist Vincent van Gogh painted several famous pictures of irises.
An ancient belief is that the Iris serves as a warning to be heeded, as it was named for the messenger of Olympus. It also conveys images of lost love and silent grief, for young girls were led into the afterlife by Iris.
Irises are perennial plants, growing from creeping rhizomes or, in drier climates, from bulbs . They have long, erect flowering stems The yellow Iris in my garden. also known as the Flag Iris is a wetland / bogland wild plant that is especially showy during its short blooming period.
