Irises

Named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow, the mythology of irises takes them back to the ancient Greek period where Goddess Iris acted as a link between heaven and the earth to guide the deceased to their final abode up in heaven. Today, the iris flower is also known as the February birth flower and is considered ideal to gift on the 25th wedding anniversary. In general, irises represent love, friendship, and fascination whereas different colors denote different meanings like:

• Blue – Faith and Hope
• White – Purity
• Yellow – Passion
• Purple – Wisdom
• German Iris – Flame
