Morning Dew Drops On A White Iris. Stock Photography

Iris is a species of flowering plants with showy flowers. Irises are perennial plants, growing from creeping rhizomes (rhizomatous irises) or, in drier climates, from bulbs (bulbous irises). The inflorescences are in the shape of a fan and contain one or more symmetrical six-lobed flowers. These grow on a pedicel or peduncle. The three sepals, which are usually spreading or droop downwards, are referred to as "falls". They expand from their narrow base (the "claw"), into a broader expanded portion ("limb" or "blade") and can be adorned with veining, lines or dots.
