I’m so pleased to learn the secret story of the iris. I live in Japan and have often noticed irises planted around trees in front of houses and wondered why that spot was frequently chosen. I didn’t know the connection with the samurai. I will have to look it up! There are many Japanese iris gardens here, blooming just now. They are planted in plots like rice paddies because they seem to love water. Japanese irises love the rainy season here and are popular tourist attractions along with hydrangeas, also blooming just now. It’s a season for blues and purples, which matches well with rainy days! Thank you for your wonderful stories!
