Iris

I have just logged in to FB since im not always into it. Purposedly just to check on my messages or notifications..lol!! and i got a tagged pic from my Sis in Riyadh which amaze me of this flower fertility on the wasteland. It is so pretty purplish and healthy under the hot sun. This flower is called Iris. It was such a pretty name and kinda look a bit like Morning Glory / Lavender.



Below is a bit of info i got from wiki :

Iris is a genus of 260 species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, referring to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species. As well as being the scientific name, iris is also very widely used as a common name for all Iris species, though some plants called thus belong to other closely related genera. A common name for some species is 'flags', while the plants of the subgenus Scorpiris are widely known as 'junos', particularly in horticulture. It is a popular garden flower.
