The Iris was a favourite of the painter Georgia O'Keefe. Her many paintings of flowers are abstractions that also act as sexual metaphors.
The first pic below is called 'Light Iris' and the second 'Black Iris'.
Here's some quotes from Georgia O'Keefe:
"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not."
"Making your unknown known is the important thing."
"You get whatever accomplishment you are willing to declare."
