In botanica, il genere Iris raccoglie circa duecento specie di piante della famiglia delle Iridacee, il cui fiore è comunemente conosciuto anche con il nome di giaggiolo.
Il nome del genere deriva dalla parola greca Iris che significa arcobaleno.
Iris is a genus of 260 species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, referring to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species. As well as being the scientific name, iris is also very widely used as a common name; for one thing, it refers to all Iris species, though some plants called thus belong to other closely related genera. In North America, a common name for irises is 'flags', while the plants of the subgenus Scorpiris are widely known as 'junos', particularly in horticulture. It is a popular garden flower in the United States.
Yes, I decided to pay a visit to the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens this afternoon. There were about 1/3 of irises in bloom. It'd be at the peak time by the next week. As you may know, there are 1,500 varieties of irises at such site. It's about 35 minutes drive from my home. We're s/b to take our Iris to see it this Sunday. I'd have photography op. again. (She learned this phrase recently). :-) Ok, I took about 250 shots today.
I love early springtime flowers. These are baby Iris are so beautiful, I wanted to capture them before they age.

Esta planta tiene interesantes propiedades medicinales.
-----Iris germanica has numerous medicinal uses.
The leaves on the iris patch have emerged as a golden green, and another try at ICM (intentional camera movement) produced this image. I was amazed how much it brought the colour out!
While I was looking through the viewfinder, our cat Mini walked into the middle and proceeded to chomp on the tips of the leaves... very funny (but slightly worrying)... I took a couple of extra shots forgetting I'd changed my camera settings. Blurred cat didn't turn out so good!
I visited this Presby Memorial Iris Gardens located in Upper Monclair, NJ. There are hundred & hundred species of it. Here is the "Iris Collections" I have. If you wish to see more, please click on: www.flickr.com/photos/71855373@N00/sets/72157650385789163
This garden means more to me as my granddaughter is called, Iris. Tomorrow we'll visit it there again with her.
This is my daily post of irises. Like I said, I still have about 200 more to go. =)
There are more irises in my iris album:
