There isn't a
direct mention of "yellow iris" in the Bible, but the iris
flower is associated with faith, hope, wisdom, and valor.
Jesus's comparison of the "lilies of the fields" to the splendor
of Solomon's wealth suggests that irises held a special,
God-favored status. The color yellow itself in the Bible can
represent glory and divine presence, like the Shekinah glory in
the Tabernacle.
In the Bible, "consider the lilies of the field" (Matthew
6:28-30, Luke 12:27) is a message of trust in God's provision
and a reminder to not be overly anxious about material needs.
Jesus uses the lilies as an example of God's care for creation,
emphasizing that if God clothes the flowers so beautifully, He
will also care for His followers. This passage encourages faith
in God's providence and a focus on seeking His kingdom above
material concerns.
No, an iris is not a lily; however, they belong to the same
general plant group Monocotyledons ;)
