Amaryllis belladonna pink flowers which may be up to 10 cm in length, appear in the autumn before the leaves (hysteranthy) which are narrow and strap shaped. "Amaryllis belladonna" is one of the two species in the genus "Amaryllis" as currently circumscribed. "Belladonna" is a Latin epithet meaning beautiful lady. There are many common names around the world, for instance in the Azores, Portugal one name is "Meninas Para Escola" (girls going to school) referring to the flowers blooming when the girls in their pink uniforms are starting the new school year.

Iris (plant) the subgenus "Scorpiris" are widely known as 'junos', particularly in horticulture. It is a popular garden flower. The often-segregated, monotypic genera "Belamcanda" (blackberry lily, "I. domestica"), "Hermodactylus" (snake's head iris, "I. tuberosa"), and "Pardanthopsis" (vesper iris, "I. dichotoma") are currently included in "Iris". Three Iris varieties are used in the Iris flower data set outlined by Ronald Fisher in his 1936 paper "The use of multiple measurements in taxonomic problems" as an example of linear discriminant analysis. Irises are perennial plants, growing from creeping rhizomes (rhizomatous irises) or, in drier climates, from bulbs (bulbous irises). They have long, erect flowering
