Iris is a flowering plant genus of 310 accepted species[1] with showy flowers. As well as being the scientific name, iris is also widely used as a common name for all Iris species, as well as some belonging to other closely related genera. A common name for some species is flags, while the plants of the subgenus Scorpiris are widely known as junos, particularly in horticulture. It is a popular garden flower.
It is named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow and is a perennial plant that blooms from late spring to early summer.
Belongs to the genus Iris, which includes around 300 species and thousands of cultivars, and is associated with the colors of the rainbow, except for red and is the emblem of New Orleans, Louisiana, and Florence, Italy, and the state flower of Tennessee.
It is considered deer-resistant and drought-tolerant.
You can find the best display of Iris’s in front of the Mount Clemens Post Office, the Pollinator Park and in front of our offices at 92 NB Gratiot. You can also see a Siberian variety of Iris’s growing along the path at the Bonior Tree.
