Flower Gardening–Iris
Hi,
Continuing with bulbs, today we will mention the Iris
The fleur-de-lis, which translates as “Flower of the Lily,” is most likely a stylized version of Iris pseudacorus, or what is commonly known as “yellow flag.” During the middle ages, the fleur-de-lis became associated with the French monarchy. Iris is from the Greek meaning “Rainbow.” Egyptians used to plant iris on the graves of women, as the Goddess Iris would lead the dead on their journey. Various species of Iris are native to different regions around the world. Thousands of varieties of iris are also cultivated and hybridized, creating a true rainbow of colors
Remember, gardening provides you with these benefits: Exercise, Inexpensive, No traveling, Increased self esteem and Relaxation. In summary, gardening is the cheapest, healthiest, keenest pleasure there is.
