The
Irises are blooming like crazy in my beds right now. I just love all the color they add.
The Iris was named after the Greek goddess who is considered to be the
messenger of love and uses the rainbow to travel. Iris was probably named after
the goddess because of the numerous colors it is available in.
The
word Iris means rainbow. Irises come in many colors such as blue and purple,
white and yellow, pink and orange, brown and red, and even black.
Since Iris is the Greek goddess for the Messenger of Love, her sacred
flower is considered the symbol of communication and messages. Therefore the
flower iris in the language of flowers
symbolizes eloquence.
Based
on their color, irises convey varied messages. A purple iris is symbolic of wisdom and compliments. A blue iris symbolizes
faith and hope. A yellow iris symbolizes passion while white iris symbolizes
purity. A gift of iris can be used to convey many emotions.
I
use the sword-like
foliage in flower arrangements. It makes a great filler and lasts a long time
in a fresh flower arrangement.
