Blue Flag Iris Petals and Sepals

Sepals are the parts of the flower that surround the bud as it's developing. The petals are the "flowering part" of the whole flower. In many cases regarding other flowers, the sepals are green and leafy, but when it comes to this plant, the sepals are the same color as the flowers, which forms almost a scintillating effect as the plant blooms from May throughout July. It is perennial, which means they'll liven up their garden with their magnificent flowers every single year.

Blue Flag Iris Are Early Morning Beauties

The colors of the plant comprise the bottom of the spectrum, so they complement the refracted colors of the dewdrops and are truly a sublime sight to behold.

Blue Flag Iris Is Environmentally Sound As Well As Beautiful

That means that the plant is a good-looking flower that "plays nice with others" of the same color and flower shape in any garden.
