Iris

Iris is a genus of 260 species of flowering plants with showy multi-colored 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.
In North America, a common name for irises is 'flags.'This flower reminds me about the character and promises of God.
One of the first covenants with mankind is found in the rainbow – a promise that God will not destroy mankind with global flooding ever again.
The colours of the rainbow also speaks of his multi-coloured grace that is poured out upon us daily.
One of the names of God used in the Old testamnet is Jehovah “Nissi” meaning ‘the Lord is our Banner.’
