The story of the Iris flower dates back to Ancient Greece, when the Greek Goddess Iris, the goddess of the rainbow, acted as the messenger between heaven and earth. This rainbow goddess carried messages for the gods Hera and Zeus and back to earth by the arc of the rainbow, hence the Iris flower is the symbol of idea and message. The Iris flower is the February birth flower and the 25th wedding anniversary flower. Traditionally the Iris flower has been chosen to symbolize faith, valor, wisdom, hope, inspiration, cherished friendship, my compliments and promise in love. Iris flowers have rich meanings when given as gifts. The symbolic meaning of Iris flowers depends on the color. White Iris flowers symbolize purity and kindness, yellow Iris flowers symbolize passion, blue Iris flowers symbolize hope and faith and purple Iris flowers symbolize wisdom and compliments. In Japan, it is believed that the Iris flower has the power to purify the body and protect the household from disease and evil. Iris flowers became linked to the French royalty in the 12th century, eventually being recognized as their national symbol, the fleur-de-lis. The Purple Iris is the State Flower of Tennessee.
