Fascinating Facts About Irises - Year of the Iris
Irises, named after the Greek word for rainbow, are stunning flowers with unique characteristics. They feature three upward petals called standards and three downward sepals known as falls. The sepals act as landing pads for pollinators, guiding them towards nectar. Irises come in a variety of colors except red and are categorized into three types: Bearded, Aril, and Beardless. They make beautiful cut flower displays, with each stem bearing around 9-12 buds. The iris is the state flower of Tennessee and grows from creeping rhizomes, blooming in spring to early summer.
