The Victoria Falls iris, scientifically known as Iris germanica 'Victoria Falls', is a perennial plant that belongs to the iris family. It is a hybrid that produces stunning purple-blue flowers with ruffled petals.
Pollination Process
Victoria Falls irises are pollinated by insects, particularly bees and butterflies. These insects are attracted to the vibrant colors and sweet fragrance of the flowers. As they collect nectar from the flowers, they inadvertently transfer pollen from one flower to another, leading to fertilization.
