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, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris. Some authors state that the name refers to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species. As well as being the scientific name, iris is also widely used as a common name for all Iris species, as well as some belonging to other closely related genera.Irises are perennial plants, growing from creeping rhizomes (rhizomatous irises) or, in drier climates, from bulbs (bulbous irises). They have long, erect flowering stems which may be simple or branched, solid or hollow, and flattened or have a circular cross-section. The inflorescences are in the shape of a fan and contain one or more symmetrical six-lobed flowers. 4726

The wild iris have been beautiful this year. This patch had just opened and the edges were still nice and the colors were so vibrant and beautiful.
These particular flowers are a favorite of mine, they were also a favorite of mine sweetest Grandmom. There were always some wild "flags" growing at every stock ponds on the summer pasture. They would also grow near the springs or any naturally wet area. My Grandmom would dig them up and plant them on the ditch back near her yard. So every spring when I see this beautiful flower I think of her.
