The Beard
The beard of an iris is the fuzzy structure that grows on the top surface of the falls. The beard serves as a perching apparatus that offers pollinating insects a grip to hold onto when they’re entering the iris flower to look for nectar.
The falls is the 3 lower petals that flatten out and bend downward to act as a landing site for the insects.
