    A few weeks ago I had a dream of a red flower and so I tried looking though google to find out what it was
    it looks pretty much like this
    But the name on it was red iris
    But when I typed in google to find more pics of it, they dont look the same
    Can anyone help?
    much appreciated thankyou :)

    They are not related to the Lilies at all. Only when you go back up to taxonomic Class, do the different family trees converge.
