purple iris
Lavender-hued garden flower
Purple iris refers to a flowering plant of the genus Iris bearing purple blooms, among the most common and recognizable varieties of iris cultivated in gardens: The purple irises along the fence were in full bloom.
The phrase also describes the colored ring around the pupil of an eye when it appears purple—an extremely rare natural occurrence that has acquired mythical status in fiction and online speculation.
