Schwertlilie / Iris (plant

Bern

Die Schwertlilien (Iris) bilden eine Pflanzengattung in der Familie der Schwertliliengewächse (Iridaceae) innerhalb der Einkeimblättrigen Pflanzen. Die an Arten umfangreiche Gattung wurde nach der griechischen Göttin des Regenbogens (Iris) benannt. Der wissenschaftliche Name ist auch im deutschen Sprachgebrauch geläufig. Die Iris-Arten werden wegen ihrer schönen und auffälligen Blüten als Zierpflanzen geschätzt.
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.
