Iris oil

There is something mysterious and magical about the iris. Its color palette has a wide variety of shades that are not repeated among other flowers. The coloring comes in every conceivable color except pure red. The name iris comes from the Greek word “iris”, which means “rainbow”. The iris of the human eye determines the color of the eye and regulates the amount of light entering the eye through the pupil. Again, the name is related to the Greek word used for each brightly colored circle around the “eyes” on the peacock’s tail.

The iris flower is named after the goddess of the rainbow. In Greek mythology, the goddess Iris is the messenger of the gods, and the rainbow is considered a bridge between heaven and earth. Giving someone iris flowers means: “I I have a message for you” – and it’s up to you to decide what beautiful story you want to tell with flowers.

Origin and characteristics of the iris

The ancient Egyptians valued the iris flower, considering it a symbol of strength and greatness. Its importance is evidenced by the fact that the Egyptians placed the iris on the forehead of the Sphinx and on the scepters of their king to denote faith, wisdom and courage. The charismatic iris is also called the sword lily because of its leaves, which are usually shaped like a sword. It belongs to the iris family (Iridaceae), like crocuses and freesias. More than 300 species and many hybrids are known. They are found on all continents of the North Temperate Zone (no irises grow south of the Tropic of Cancer) and come in all colors, shapes, heights, and bloom times.

Irises can be divided into three groups. Some grow from bulbs, have lance-shaped leaves with deep grooves, do not grow tall, and die off fairly quickly. Large, beautiful flowers are located in the axils of the leaves along the stem. The inner petals are small, so the drooping petals appear very large. Then there are irises that grow from a rhizome, thick and fleshy: they like fertile calcareous soil and are divided into bearded irises and beardless irises, and their leaves are shaped like a sword. The third group is irises that grow with roots, like marsh plants.

Iris has long stems and flowers that look like a cross between a lily and an orchid. They come in a variety of colors, except for pure red. When the buds open, the three outer petals open completely so that you can see the heart of the flower, while the three inner petals remain upright. The drooping petals usually have a bright spot and veins.

Iris flowers symbolize wisdom, strength, royalty, trust, hope, masculinity, purity, impeccability, grandeur, light, eloquence.
