The iris flower is one of the beautiful creations of Mother Nature. The iris is the jewel of spring. With their intriguing shape and rainbow variation of colors, it inspired many artists because this flower can inspire deep feelings of love, trust, and care. For the Ancient Egyptians, the iris flower was a symbol of majesty and power. In Greek mythology, iris was the messenger of the gods and it never brought anything but good news. As a reward for its fierce services, it was changed into a rainbow, as it is a symbol of the return of good weather.
Late May to June is the season of iris flowers in Japan. Irises are major flowers in Japanese gardens, some big temples and shrines. Purple of the flowers and glossy green of their leaves are symbolic of natural beauty of Japanese early summer. Irises are extremely beautiful in rain and people connect the image of irises to rain rather the clear sky in Japan.
