| I've decided to move some of my irises and create an iris garden/bed. I have some of my irises in my perennial beds and I'm afraid they may be getting too much water. I have several varieties that I need to move and I'm going to pick up an order next week. I have a section that I would like to work with that's about 24x10(I have room to expand). I have lilies, sedums, ajuga, salvias, coreopsis as well as a few small shrubs and a few large rocks that I can use in the garden. I was hoping that some of you could show me some pictures or share links of your beds to help give me some ideas or inspiration.
I currently have Sea Swells Keizer’s Heritage Sheer Ecstasy Champagne Waltz City Lights Live Music Romantic Evening Jesse’s Song Cherubs Smile unknown White (huge, gorgeous, ruffled that I rescued from a pile of discards out in the country. And a dozen or more unknown historical varieties Picking the following order up soon...

| Most of the plants you list are drought tolerant except for the lilies. I don't know if beardeds and lilies would be compatible moisture-wise? Also lilies like soil on the acid side which beardeds don't. Here's a surprise combo that I really liked this year. The iris was a cast-off and needs proper placement now I know its color and that it works beautifully with Evelyn rose and Coming Up Roses daylily. Lousey flash pic --- much better is person.
