Iris
By: Shantal U.
My flower has one color, and it is blue. My flower is big and opens to cool down. It is not a vegetable or a fruit. It is not a tree. It is like a flower. The name is Rainbow Iris. It can be located in Greece. The kind of weather is winter. Iris need the sun, water, and air. It needs these things to live and to provide oxygen for us. My plant can have medicinal purposes, and for the manufacturing of perfume .
People used to throw the roots of this plant in the fire to get different scents. Iris grow and change throughout their life cycle, in an attempt to explain an iris life cycle.
Iris produce white, yellow, orange, pink, purple, lavender, blue, or brown colored flowers. Iris have smooth, erect stems that reach from 8 to 38 inches in height. Iris produce 3 to 10 leaves arranged in their form. Each stem produces 9 to 12 flowering buds. Iris means rainbow in the Greek language. Individual flowers consist of three upward oriented petals known as standards.
Iris gardens grow high quality bearded and siberian iris. These are the two types of irises. My flower’s color is blue with purple. Irises come in many colors such as blue, purple, white, yellow, pink, orange, brown, red, and even black. My plant looks blue. The leaves are seperated a lot.
