Gad is another ordinary common noun in Hebrew. It means 'good luck'. We all want as much of it as we can get. So it is not surprising that it became a proper noun, the name of some people, a tribe of Israel, and a god. The god Gad was not ordinarily identified with Baal.
There currently are five recognized species in the Series Hexagonae, as the Louisiana iris group within the Genus Iris is called. They are: I. brevicaulis, I. fulva, I. hexagona, I. giganticaerulea and I. nelsonii.
Bearded irises (Iris germanica) grow sword-like fans of tall green leaves and produce tall spikes of purple, red, yellow, white or pink blooms. Each drooping petal has a fuzzy spot, or beard, near its base.asic Care. Iris plants require minimal care beyond occasional cutting back. The plants grow well in dry soil and only require watering when the top 2 to 4 inches of soil feels dry. They flower best in areas that receive full, all-day sunlight.
