Biological Features of Iris Plants
Irises take their name from the Greek goddess of the rainbow due to the wide variety of colors found across different species. The flower structure features two distinct petal types: three upright petals called standards and three downward petals known as falls. This complex layout creates a natural landing area for pollinating insects like bumblebees.
