Iris means faith, hope, wisdom, courage, royalty, passion and admiration

The iris's history is very rich, dating back to Ancient Greek times when Iris was the goddess of the rainbow, the messenger of the Olympian gods. Iris acted as the link between heaven and earth. With over 200 varieties in a wide spectrum of colors, the iris fittingly takes its name from the Greek word for "rainbow" During the Middle Ages irises (Fleur-de-lis) became linked to the French monarchy and eventually became the national symbol of France and symbol of royalty as well. Then irises were mostly used to make perfumes. Today irises grow all over the world and they are very popular. The many meanings of the iris makes the flower a great choice for any occasion: corporate, sympathy, get well and birthday for example.
