Meaning behind Iris flower




Iris-Iris the flower got its name from the Greek goddess Iris, goddess of the rainbow. Iris was also known to be the messenger of Zeus and Hera. Iris would take messages from "the eye of Heaven" to earth travelling on the arc of the rainbow. The word iris means "eye of heaven". It was the name given to the goddess, this flower, and the center of your eye. This means that each of us carries a piece of heaven with us.
Iris
