The Iris is a genus of 260–300 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 all Iris species.
It is a popular garden flower. The genus is widely distributed throughout the north temperate zone. Their habitats are varied, ranging from cold and montane regions to the grassy slopes, meadowlands and riverbanks of the northern hemisphere.
Irises are perennial plants, growing from creeping rhizomes (rhizomatous irises) or, in drier climates, from bulbs (bulbous irises). They have long, erect flowering stems. All irises have long steal and flowers with six petals, three downwards and three upright. The flowers can range in color from golden yellow, to white, blue, lavender and purple. Pink and apricot colored irises are grown in some species.
This picture was taken in "De Passiflorahoeve" (Passieflorafarm) in Harskamp, the Netherlands.
De lis (Iris) is een plantengeslacht uit de lissenfamilie (Iridaceae). Zowel het geslacht als de soorten worden in de volksmond vaak iris genoemd. Het geslacht kent naast zo'n 260 Ã 300 beschreven soorten ook vele cultivars. Lissen worden al lang door de mens gebruikt. In de Egyptische piramiden zijn afbeeldingen van lissen te vinden, die stammen uit 1500 v.Chr.
De verschillende soorten lissen komen algemeen voor in de noordelijke gematigde klimaatzone. Alle irissen hebben lange stelen en bloemen met zes kroonbladeren, waarvan drie naar beneden wijzen en drie rechtop staan. Bij sommige kleinere soorten wijzen de kroonbladeren allemaal naar buiten. De bloemen kunnen in kleur variëren van goudgeel, tot wit, blauw, lavendel en paars. Roze en abrikooskleurige irissen zijn gekweekt binnen sommige soorten.
De meeste wilde lissen groeien uit een wortelstok, maar sommige soorten groeien vanuit een bol. Deze laatste soorten worden als cultuurgewas geteeld.
Deze foto is gemaakt in de buitentuin van zorgboerderij De Passiflorahoeve bij Harskamp op de Veluwe tussen Ede en Apeldoorn, noordelijk van Arnhem. Info: www.passiflorahoeve.nl/. Alleen in de maanden juni t/m september is de Passiflorahoeve van maandag t/m zaterdag van 10:00 tot 16:00 uur geopend voor bezoekers.

L'iris, conosciuto anche come giaggiolo, appartiene alla famiglia delle Iridiaceae e il suo nome in greco significa "arcobaleno".
Just bloomed today!
This is one of many that we dug up from an iris garden that apparently wasn't labelled correctly, so we are left with a description of its color rather than a name.

The first bearded iris bloom in my garden for this year, I particularly like this peach colored one. Unfortunately these blooms also portend the arrival fo 95 F/35 C days ahead.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and fave my images. Enjoy the day.
When my irises bloom I know winter is almost at an end which inspires me to get out in the garden & even without the eyes they make you smile.
Schwertlilien im Berliner Tiergarten
Iris sibirica oder Iris sanguinea, die Ostsibirische Schwertlilie
In der Mythologie sind Schwertlilien Pflanzen der griechischen Götterbotin Iris, die die Seelen der Verstorbenen entlang einem Regenbogen in das Reich des ewigen Friedens geleitete.
The colors in this iris are some of my favorites: many shades of blue and purple, all blending in the play of interesting light. Our iris are about finished already.
Meravigliosi colori all'angolo di una strada di campagna,
Come dice un mio amico: Ingrandita è meglio!!!
Yellow and Blue Iris, a marvel.
A gentle arm curve creates a soft frame around the dancer’s head.
Bought a mixed bouquet, saw just the tips of the yellow Irises, to my amazement, the center turned out blue, not seen that before, thus photo-session with my new elegant models. This definitely spoke of ballet ...
I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen, with my eyes!
In Flowers'-language: Iris means faith; hope; wisdom and valour
In Fine Arts: the lenses also have an iris diaphragm which can be opened and closed to control the amount of light reaching the film.
Iris can also mean:
* The sphincter around the pupil of the eye, the iris is the most visible part of the eye, when photographed with a flash, the iris only reacts to protect the retina, and not fast enough to avoid the red eye effect.
* The equivalent device in a camera,
* The messenger of the gods in Greek mythology
* A variety of flower,
* A female first name.
I wish you a good day and thank you for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)
