Description

In Greek mythology, Iris was a messenger of the gods, also the personification of the rainbow, creating a link between the heavens and earth. 
The flower is named after her due to the vast range of colors of this plant. It is, however, the violet iris which is cultivated for dyeing purposes. 
This flower gives a more dense color than the violet.
