You are right, the fleur-de-lis or iris has always been the heraldic emblem of Florence. This is the reason why the have the best collection of irises in the world. They say that a long time ago, irises used to grow wild around the ramparts of Florence and this is the reason why they chose it as their emblem. Some of the varieties that they have in the gardens are very rare.
