Purple Iris 2

The fleur-de-lis ("flower of the lily") is actually a representation of the iris. It has long been a symbol of the French monarchy as well as of areas associated with France, such as Quebec and Louisiana.




For Christians, the "threeness" of the fleur-de-lis (evident in my original photo, but not in my cross) suggests the Trinity.
