Iris 'Many Mahalos' is an intermediate bearded iris with lovely orange blooms and deep orange beards. It stands 19 inches high and blooms prolifically in late spring. It may rebloom later in the season, from mid summer until frost. Many Mahalos means “many thanks” in Hawaiian. Typically the flowers of intermediate bearded irises are 3 ½ to 5 inches in width and are good for cutting. They are resistant to deer and attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. Iris is the name of the Greek goddess of the rainbow. The classic 'Fleur de Lys' which has been a symbol of royalty throughout history was an adaptation of the iris flower.
