Iris

"Iris is a reflection of the beauty and diversity of nature."


Iris is a beautiful and popular flowering plant that is native to Europe, Asia and North America. Known for its striking and vibrant blooms, iris is a popular choice for gardens as well as for cut flowers and floral arrangements.


The plant is named after the Greek goddess Iris, who was believed to be the messenger of the gods and the personification of the rainbow. This is because of the wide range of colors and patterns that can be found in iris blooms which are often said to resemble a rainbow.

Iris plants come in many different varieties including bearded, beardless and crested, each with their own unique characteristics and growing requirements. They prefer well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight, making them a great choice for gardens in many regions.

In addition to their ornamental value, some species of iris also have medicinal properties and are used in traditional medicine to treat a range of ailments including digestive issues, skin conditions and fever. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before using iris for medicinal purposes.
