until i read the final chapter of ulysses i always thought that these were shapes, like a tetrahedron. it doesn’t have the name of a beautiful flower idk who came up with the name but they must’ve liked polygons
irises have sort of been a recurrent motif in my life i guess. every spring they blossom in front of my building in our communal pots. i think they’re so lovely because their shape is quite unique. when i was little my mom also used to wear an iris perfume which i looooved (which i now got for myself). i also have tattoos of irises which i drew hihi 🤗
