Iris National Flower Of France


The iris is the national flower of France and is represented in the Fleur-de-lis emblem, the symbol of the French monarchy. Iris flowers have three petals often called the "standards", and three outer petal-like sepals called the "falls".  Meaning ‘rainbow’ in Greek, the iris flower is also symbolic of faith, wisdom, peace of mind, friendship and hope.
