Iris, Germanica, the royal flower or in Greek mythology, the Goddess of Rainbows. I like that. You may not know that the French royal symbol, the Fleur de Lys that was a sign of power, was a stylized version of the Iris. Painted by masters, Leonardo da Vinci, Durer, Renoir, Cezanne, Van Goph and Monet the iris has been immortalized through out history and is only 2nd to the rose. I had to take a stab at my own version and take my place in history, too. Enjoy, and stop to smell the Roses...I mean Iris. Toodles.
