The greek word iris means rainbow and the eye of heaven. The Greek goddess Iris was the goddess of rainbow. She would take messages from Mount Olympus - The Eye of Heaven to earth by the arc of a rainbow. This is why the center of the eye is also called iris.
The iris flower got its name from the goddess and is the symbol of idea and message. Greek men would often plant iris on the graves of their beloved women as a tribute to the goddess, whose duty was also to take the souls of women to the Elysian fields.
The three leaves of the iris flower represent faith, wisdom and valor. It has been the symbol of royalty and divine protection for centuries throughout the world. Indian and Egyptian cultures used the flower in art to depict life and ressurection.
In Japan it expresses heroism and the blue color of the flower symbolizes blue blood.
