Iris germanica 'Batik'

Batik Irises

My batik irises usually have more purple than white, but I really like this unusual one as well.

Lovely Bearded Irises

The roots of the iris plant have been used medicinally to treat skin infections, syphilis, stomach problems and dropsy. Today the roots are still used to purge the liver. Some alternative medicine uses include using yellow iris to treat dandruff and white iris to treat asthma and bronchitis, as well as use as a diuretic.

So Pretty In Purple, Irises
