Iris, the goddess of the rainbow and harbinger of Spring

 

Iris the Greek Goddess travels on rainbows and flowers grow where she walks. Iris the goddess acts as a messenger of the gods, linking them with humanity and traveling with the wind through the world, the sea, and the underworld.  Iris leads the souls of women to the Elysian fields and rainbow-colored flowers appear in her footprints as she travels. She heralds the arrival of Spring. In the language of flowers iris symbolizes eloquence and the colors have different meanings: purple symbolizing wisdom and compliments, the blue is faith and hope, the yellow is passion and the white is purity.

The fleur de lys is not a lilly; but an iris
