The iris is a beloved early bloomer in the perennial garden. In Greek mythology, Iris is a golden winged messenger of the gods. As a link between heaven and earth, her symbol is the rainbow. As a flower, the iris is aptly named, boasting large, showy blooms that come in virtually every color of the rainbow. Here, a delicately sculpted iris sways in the gentle spring breeze in this beautiful ceramic vase.
