Iris is a genus of 260–300 species
of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word
for a rainbow, referring to the wide variety of flower colors found among the
many species. As well as being the scientific name, iris is also very widely used as a
common name for all Iris
species, as well as some belonging to other closely related genera. Source
