The Iris was named after the Greek Goddess of the Rainbows. With its deeply saturated colors, this vibrant flower symbolizes faith, wisdom, and hope.
The “Fleur de Lys” is an elegant depiction of the Iris, and has been used as a symbol for French royalty for centuries.
It was once used as a “cure” for blood and lung diseases. Today, you can use the Iris for naturally dyeing clothes, and has been used to flavor and color Gin.
