Iris (Viola)
State Flower of Tennessee and Rhode Island
Symbolism: Wisdom, Courage

She is a blossom with sun in her center and twilight in her edges, patiently unfolded, grounded in her deep roots. Familiar with her perfume? The iris root, after 3-5 years, matures into a fragrant thread, making the iris a perfume requiring patience to produce. Not only are the roots aromatic, they were long used medicinally for migraines and toothaches.

The name of the Iris came from the Greek word for ‘rainbow’, a fitting name for a flower growing so many color varieties. It originated in Syria where it grew throughout fields and captivated the interest of royal gardeners.
