A new client in Chicago recently posted this delightfully written testimonial on her own blog site. She added this, concerning irises - (what do you know!)
The word Iris comes from the greek word Rainbow because they come in so many colors. The Greek Goddess Iris, is the messenger of the gods and the personification of the rainbow, she acted as the link between heaven and earth. Purple Iris were used to summon her on graves and in flower beds.
