Description
Iris are not only gorgeous flowers but the word Iris is mythological. It is the name of the Greek Goddess Iris, which gave the genus its name. There are about 275 species of flowering plants with showy flowers within the Iris genus. It is an important flower for pollinating and the petals form a resting place for the bee, heading in and backing out of the flower to get its nectar. I have always loved the bearded Iris as I have seen it since childhood in gardens and in floral arrangements.
