By the way, another plant whose name is associated with a certain color is Iris, who was given the name in honor of the ancient Greek goddess of the rainbow. This fact also raises many questions among many people, because everyone knows that these flowers are not rainbow, and in those days only blue irises were generally found in nature. This strangeness is explained by the fact that for unknown reasons, the ancient Greeks did not know or did not distinguish in blue — even they compared the sea in color with honey. Given this fact, it will cease to seem strange to you that the representatives of this nation saw in iris any color, except blue.
