Iris Flower Petals 1536 X 864. Petal length will do a great job to classify all classes of flowers but we can say that petal length is slightly better than the petal width because petal width is also doing a better job. Check out our selection of Iris flowers, below!
This large group of bloomers includes plants that grow from bulbs (Dutch iris, Iris hollandica), as well as traditional perennial types of iris, such as bearded iris (Iris germanica) and Siberian iris (Iris sibirica).

It is sometimes called Anderson's Iris data set because Edgar Anderson collected the data to quantify the morphologic.
