In Greek mythology Iris is a messenger goddess who travels on a rainbow to
bring messages from the god’s to mortals. Wikipedia
The Iris flower blooms in a rainbow of colors, the Purple blossom symbolizes
royalty and wisdom. FTD
The Iris Flower is my eleventh entry for Cee’s FOTD challenge

Thank you, John. It’s an oddly difficult flower to photograph, at least for me.

I would think so. Head on it would look like a lion.

Yes, I can see that. There is star in the middle of a bright patch of yellow in the center.

It’s a gorgeous photo, Rob. I couldn’t say why, but the iris (especially the little wild ones) is one of my favorite flowers – perhaps the favorite.
Thanks for adding this beautiful, wistful song. Joni Mitchell is one of a wonderful kind. Hugs on the wing.

Thanks Teagan. I’m a lifelong Joni Mitchell fan. I suppose I consider her royal and wise. 🙂
