Iris Germanica

Suggestions for a complementary quote, a word that these mandala images evoke, or some history or other information about the flower itself are most welcome, as are corrections to my flower identification if I've got it wrong and any other comments you'd care to make.

I'd also appreciate identification of the specific cultivar, if applicable.

Thanks,
- David

Iris was the Greek goddess of the rainbow.

 

Don't know the cultivar myself. If you're doing any web searches with case-sensitive search engines, remember species names are lower case, i.e., Iris germanica.
