Tennessee State Flower Coloring
Tennessee has one of the most beautiful State Flowers in my opinion, the Iris.Tennessee is also one of the states that chose a separate Wildflower, in their case, the Passion Flower but the official State Flower is the Iris.
The Iris is a very Orchid looking flower, but it is its own species. The Iris has 6 petals, 3 that are upright, and 3 that fall away from the center, called "falls."

Irises bloom in the Spring, and are available in many colors, from White, to Yellow, to Blue, to Pink, Red, and shades of Purple. In Tennessee you most often see them in shades of Purple.
