And They Called Her Iris
As a rainbow she appeared
And then as one
They each fell
Hopelessly in love with her
One upon one, upon one
Upon one
Until all her beauty
Was revealed
And then they named her Iris

Ah - my favourite shade is violet
and thanks for the info. on such a lovely Greek Goddess. Well maybe her beauty was revealed but that Iris used her tints of change to her own advantage methinks --- A tale told expertly as an intriguing weekend read but I then expect no other than alluring mystery from thee mon ami...............
