Iris is a species of flowering plants with showy flowers

You find her standing tall exuding strength and power

Iris name comes from the Greek word for rainbow

That’s something most people probably don’t know

Some say her name refers to her wide variety of colors 

she’s a tough girl more so than all the others

She’s called the state flower of Tennessee

Bearded irises actually only have petals of three

The iris is often seen as a flower of royalty

Magnificent purples and blues, the colors of the sea

pinks, yellows red, and even one is the color of a peach tree

Out of all the flowers I’ve seen the Iris is the flower for me
