Flourish

Each color of the Bearded Iris carries a distinct message, a chromatic whisper of emotions. Purple irises, the most recognizable, speak of wisdom, compliments, and flourishment in life. The emotional resonance of these colors is not just a modern interpretation; it’s a language that has been spoken for millennia. For example, the Ancient Egyptians planted irises near tombs as symbols of protection and transition, guiding the deceased to the afterlife. Today, gifting irises can signify everything from a celebration of a pure friendship and admiration. It also symbolizes the beauty and self-growth or floursihment of humans.
