The Beautiful Iris Flower

Share the flowers!

The Iris flower has long been appreciated for its exotic and delicate bloom. So beautiful that it has graced several pieces of Vincent Van Gogh’s artwork, the Iris is named after the Greek goddess for the Messenger of Love. The word “iris” means rainbow, and while it is best know for the lovely shades of blue and purple in which it comes, it is also available in white, peach, yellow, pink, red, brown, and many other colors of the rainbow. The varied colors of the iris mean different sentiments: yellow means passion, white means purity, blue means hope, and purple means wisdom. The iris is the official state flower of Tennessee and is the birth flower for the month of February. Here are a few of our favorite iris bouquets:
