Query on linear model function parameters

How is
model <- lm(
           formula = Petal.Width ~ Petal.Length,
            data = iris
            )
different from
model <- lm(
            formula = iris$Petal.Width ~ iris$Petal.Length,
            data = iris
            )

The output of both the commands are same but my prediction output differs.
NOTE: I had assumed Petal.Width is same as iris$Petal.Width, clearly they are not. I don't understand how are they different.
