	This is one of my favorites with bearded and beardless irises
	as well. Also, I grow some lilium (mainly Asiatics) with bearded
	irises....smack in the middle of one very large bearded bed. Lilium
	like a raised bed, too, and bloom when the bearded are way past
	flowering. I also have Daffodils naturalized around the iris beds
	to have some color in different times. They can be mowed down
	after flowering. :)

	Cheers,

	Ellen
