The word is derived in part from the Greek word, Iris, meaning "rainbow," which in turn is derived from the goddess, Iris, the personification of the rainbow. She acted as a messenger of the gods. The rainbow unites earth and heaven, linking the gods to humanity. Iris travels the speed of wind, from one end of the world to the other, and into the depths of the sea and the underworld. Iris was said to have golden wings, and her twin sister, Arkhe, to have iridescent ones. During the Titan war, Zeus tore Arkhe's iridescent wings from her, and gave them as a gift to Nereid Thetis at her wedding. Nereid Thetis, then in turn, gave the wings to her son, Achilles, who wore them on his feet. Achilles was then known as Podarkhes, or "wing-footed with Arkhe's wings."

It depends upon the particular iris [Irisspp] as to whether the plant will be affected by broadleaved or narrow leaved herbicide applications. Generally, those iris plants such as the amur iris [Iris maackii], Douglas iris [Iris douglasiana], and Virginia iris [Iris virginica] that are water feature and water body lovers tend to be broadleaved. Additionally, the bulbous iris that's grown from bulbs has wider, cylindrical leaves at their bases whereas rhizomatous iris that spreads by underground rhizomes has narrower, sword shaped leaves. Examples of popular narrow leaved iris plants include Algerian iris [Iris unguicularis varangustifolia], Pacific Coast iris [Iris tenax], and Siberian iris [Iris siberica ].
