the story behind
Wild iris Flowers & Gifts
Wild Iris Flowers & Gifts is a full service flower & gift shop located in the heart of Molalla, Oregon, and has been proudly serving the community and surrounding areas for over 20 years! Now under new ownership, Wild Iris has taken on a fresh new look and approach to the way we do business.
At Wild Iris, we believe flowers are more than just beautiful stems in a vase—they’re stories waiting to be told, moments waiting to be remembered, and emotions brought to life.
Our shop is a fresh take on the traditional flower shop experience. We specialize in curated, boutique floral designs—always fresh, always thoughtful, and always a little unexpected. Alongside our signature arrangements, you’ll also find a carefully chosen selection of gifts, home décor, and treasures that reflect the same spirit: timeless, stylish, and made to bring joy.
We’re not about generic blooms or overwhelming choices. We’re about making it easy to give (or receive) something truly special.
The face behind the flowers
Lindsey Frankus
Howdy, I’m Lindsey, the owner and floral designer behind Wild Iris. Flowers, gifts, and home decor have always been a passion of mine—not just for their beauty, but for the way they connect people. When the opportunity arose to carry the torch of this long-standing small-town shop, I knew I wanted to honor its roots while giving it a bold new life.
My style blends colorful & fun with whimsical & western, creating arrangements that feel both elegant and down-to-earth. More than anything, I care about providing a quality product and experience for my customers.
When I’m not designing with flowers, you can find me with my family, soaking up small-town life, connecting with our community, coaching, or dreaming up ways to bring more beauty and joy into everyday moments.
Meet Iris (but be warned, she's got a wild side)
wild iris
Wild Iris isn’t just the name of our shop—it’s also the heart of our brand. Inspired by the untamed beauty of wildflowers and the spirit of a bold cowgirl, Wild Iris is our muse, our guide, and our way of sharing flowers differently.
When I purchased the shop in the spring of 2025, I decided to keep the name, but knew I was going to have to do something to make it mine, and bring it to life. So the idea emerged to create a brand persona or character...a wild cowgirl named Iris who loves flowers. But then came the tricky part. What would our new logo be? After much deliberation and back and forth with our graphic designer, it hit me!
As a young girl, I spent my family vacations on horseback somewhere deep in the Oregon wilderness. We'd pack into some remote area, set up camp, and trail ride during the day. In the evening while my mom cooked dinner, I'd wander off in search of wildflowers. Picking them as I went, I'd return to camp and grab the only "vase" I could find...one of dad's empty beer bottles that I'd take to the stream, fill with water and happily arrange my treasured wildflowers in.
Those childhood experiences, paired with my wild teenage years, love of flowers and the western way of life morphed together to create the image of Wild Iris.
She’s spirited, free, and a little wild at heart. She values quality, authenticity, integrity good design, and storytelling, just like we do. You’ll see her influence in our logo, in our designs, and in the way we connect with our community.
Think of Wild Iris as the character who brings our brand to life—a reminder that flowers can be fresh, modern, and full of personality. She’s the reason we do things differently, and the spirit behind everything we create.
