What a wonderful explanation for the name we now call this flower by! And your interesting use of the original meaning of "angel" in your title and caption---not many people are aware it means "messenger".
These Wild Blue Flags, as they're called here in Minnesota, USA, are my favorite flower, along with their cousins the snow white and deep purple Siberian Iris. Lovely to see these beautiful blooms in what is our midwinter, Alan! It will be months yet before mine thaw out enough to bloom. :D

About Granddad
Granddad We are English, (except our dogs, who are definitely very Greek, having been abandoned strays who took us in out of the kindness of their hearts). We retired to Greece in 2003 to escape the phoney political correctness endemic throughout the Anglo-Saxon world and to mix with some real people again. We live in the Exo-Mani in the extreme South of the Peloponnesus, where the sea and countryside are beautiful and the weather is also less political (i.e. they don't tax sunshine yet). The site provides an opportunity for us to bore the whole world with our snapshots and for which we are duly grateful.
