<<"What is the botanical name of the shape of the Iris flower?".>>
I don't know that the shape has ever been defined (in my limited
knowledge) - BUT -if we were to draw a connecting line from the center of a
fall to each of the other two we would form a triangle. If we then drew
another line from each angle point to the peak of the standards we would
then form a pyramid. That, I believe, should be the basic/botanical shape of
the Iris flower. Of course this would not hold true for many of the
beardless, especially the multi-petalled JI's. There are always exceptions
to the rule!!! Comments????
