Description

Watercolour painting of a flower bed with blue, purple and yellow Irises in a garden ;
This regal flower puts on quite a show in the garden in early to mid-summer. It’s stately blooms range in color from traditional shades of purple and blue to yellow, white, pink, red, chartreuse, brown and nearly black. There is an iris to fit any occasion.
Iris earned its name from the ancient Greek Goddess Iris, a messenger to the gods who was thought to use the rainbow as a bridge between heaven and earth. By some accounts, the ancient Greeks believed the rainbow was actually the flowing, multi-colored robes of Iris.
It's said that purple irises were planted over the graves of women to summon the goddess Iris to guide them in their journey to heaven, acting as the link between heaven and earth.
