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.
Beardless iris flowers are similar in appearance to their bearded cousins, but they have smooth fall petals and thinner, more grass-like leaves. They are also known as apogoniris or apogons, and produce flowers in numerous colors including white, yellow, pink, purple, blue and maroon.ulbous Iris. Bulbous iris flowers differ from the other types because they are grown from bulbs instead of rhizomes. They are planted in fall and enter dormancy in the summer, during which time the bulbs may be lifted from the ground and stored until time to replant.
