Description
While upon first glance you might think that an Iris flower has six petals, it actually only has three. The three petals oriented upwards are the only true petals of the Iris flower. The “petals” oriented downward are actually sepals, sometimes also called falls.
These sepals are sometimes covered with beards which is the common term used to describe the fuzzy appendage of a flower. Most Iris flowers have petals and sepals that all match, but you might find some that have varying colors — making for a rare and beautiful sight.
