Cemeteries have been places for irises, I know. My maternal grandparents'
family plantation had their own cemetery secluded in a part of the plantation
-- I found the Blackberry Lily growing there among the graves - and that is an
interesting form of iris, . Also, when I was in India, I kept looking for
muslim graveyards and took a picture (the slide was not very good and is
somewhere in my collection) of white irises growing in one. I understand that they
feel the iris, as a rainbow, helps the soul on its way to heaven. Who knows
