The Symbolic Iris Flower
The iris is a beloved flower and a favorite to many all over the world. Its easy-to-recognize lobed petals and vibrant colors make it a favorite for brides in any culture. The name “iris” is taken from the word “rainbow,” in reference to the goddess Iris, who traveled along rainbows between heaven and earth to deliver messages for the gods.

The combination of its striking display of colors and symbolism makes the iris a popular bloom to celebrate everything from weddings and birthdays to anniversaries, baby showers, and more. When you order from Blooms by the Box, you’ll receive beautiful, fresh flowers ready to be arranged however you like.

How to Care for Iris Flowers
The delicate blooms of the lovely iris flower have a relatively short vase life. However, with a little extra TLC, you can help keep them looking their best for as long as possible. Upon your iris flowers’ arrival, cut the stems under lukewarm water at an angle. This helps to rehydrate them after their long journey. Also, be sure to nourish them with floral food. Before placing them in water, trim away any leaves that fall below the waterline to prevent the growth of bacteria. Be sure to trim and add fresh water every three days. For the longest vase life, keep them in a cool location, away from heat, direct sunlight, and drafts.
