I always look forward to Iris blooming! I was interested to learn the names for the two different kinds of petals on these flowers. The three outside petals that drape downward are called “Falls.” The three inside petals that stand up straight are called, “Standards.” So the common name, “Flags,” is quite appropriate.
These flowers help us praise God. In humility, we humbly fall down before the One who loves us. And with hearts full of thankfulness we raise and wave our hands in surrender and honor.
He has made us to glorify Him and enjoy Him forever.
Let’s join the Iris in lifting our hands and hearts to God today.
