Iris Day is May 8

Iris Day celebrates the beauty and diversity of the iris flower. It’s celebrated in many parts of the world, including Europe, North America and parts of Asia. This day is dedicated to appreciating one of nature’s most beloved blooms – the iris!

On Iris Day, people take time out to admire these lovely flowers in all their stunning varieties. From tall bearded irises to delicate beardless ones, there are so many different types to choose from and appreciate!  Iris Day is your chance to get up close and personal with this amazing flower.

Iris Day is a great day to bring out your green thumb, or just admire the beauty of irises. If you're looking to start an iris garden, you'll need to make sure you choose the right type of soil and climate for them, as different varieties require different conditions in order to thrive. Once you've figured out the best conditions for your chosen type of iris, you can start planting! Keep in mind that some varieties need to be divided every few years, otherwise they will become overcrowded and won't bloom as well.

Of course, if gardening isn’t your forte, then there are still plenty of other ways to enjoy Iris Day. Go out and take a walk, or find a nearby park with irises in bloom. You can also search for local events such as flower shows or workshops that celebrate the beauty of these flowers. Many cities even have special activities planned on Iris Day, so be sure to check your local listings for more information!

However you choose to celebrate Iris Day, the most important thing is to appreciate and admire the beauty of these flowers. Take a moment to take in their vibrant colors and delicate petals, and remind yourself why we love them so much! After all, what’s better than enjoying mother nature’s finest work with friends and family?
