The Bearded Iris, also known as Iris Germanica, is a flower that has been grown and appreciated for centuries for its beautiful flowers and fragrant scent. The history of the Bearded Iris goes back to ancient Egypt, where the flower was honored as a symbol of power and beauty.

In ancient times the Bearded Iris was used in religious ceremonies and were often depicted on frescoes and paintings. The flower was also used in perfumes and oils because of its pleasant scent.

During the Middle Ages, the Bearded Iris was introduced to Europe and soon became a popular garden plant. The flower was grown in monastery and castle gardens and was appreciated for its colorful flowers and long flowering period.

In the 19th century, growers in Europe and America started crossing different types of the Bearded Iris to create new varieties. These hybrid Irises often had larger flowers and a wider range of colors. Today, hundreds of different varieties of Bearded Irises are available, varying in color, size and flowering time. They are still grown and appreciated for their beauty and scent.
