CULT: Irises and companions in a rock garden?

From: "William Groth" <groth@rice.edu>

Hello everyone,

I will describe my project and see if anyone can offer some helpful
suggestions on the companions
to my selected irises.  First I have already gotten some bulbs including
Dutch Iris, I. reticulata, and
I. danfordiae as well as two rhizomes of dwarf bearded irises.  I have
already planted one Butterfly
Iris in the rock garden bed.  I also have various daffodils, and some lily,
and hyacinth bulbs that I was
going in plant in that garden as companions.  Will these plants "play nice"
together and how
crowded can they be?

Remember that I live in Houston, TX (in Alief actually in the Western
portion)  which is in USDA
zone 8b/9a TX Gulf Coast.  I am going to add some more garden bed space for
Louisiana Irises
and other bulb plants such as Day lilies and Agapanthus.  How will these
work as companions?
