Flowers also known as fleurs-de-lis (6)

I believe the answer is:

irises

(Other definitions for irises that I've seen before include "Is sire in favour of flowers?" , "Plants with sword-shaped leaves" , "Flags" , "Flowers found in the eye" , "Flowers and parts of eyes" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
