Iris (explored)

The Iris has something mysterious about it. In her color palette she has colors that other flowers do not carry. And something magical. She is named after the goddess of the rainbow

Paintings of the flower can be found in the Egyptian pyramids, which scientists believe date back to 1500 BC. Even after that, the iris had a glorious life. She decorated the coats of arms of Louis XVIII (to protect against death) and was a regular model for the painter Vincent van Gogh. Irises belong to the Iris family (Idraceae)
