"A delicate Iris flower embellishing the rough hide of an elephant? It seems incongruent until you know the Iris is a symbol of Wisdom and Hope. Living several years in Zambia and having the opportunity to view African elephants in the wild, I believe they too represent wisdom and hope. The physical strength and fierceness of a wild animal and their natural bonding with their herd and loving protection of their young is a joy to behold."
