THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS  

 

THE MEANING & SYMBOLISM OF IRIS

 

 

 

The February birth flower, the 25th wedding anniversary flower and the state flower of Tennessee, the iris’s three upright petals are said to symbolize faith, valor and wisdom.

The iris’s mythology dates back to Ancient Greece, when the goddess Iris, who personified the rainbow (the Greek word for iris), acted as the link between heaven and earth.  It’s said that purple irises were planted over the graves of women to summon the goddess Iris to guide them in their journey to heaven.  Irises became linked to the French monarchy during the Middle Ages, eventually being recognized as their national symbol, the fleur-de-lis.
