Iris with dark blue or purple falls and light coloured standards are my favourite.<br /><br />Geraniums are great for cuddling up to taller plants, and your's make a good combo with Clarence. I like the way they knit the garden together, but I've had to pull out some of the taller, floppier ones.Northern Shadehttp://northernshade.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127455457043616458.post-35710438628887983972014-05-20T22:09:39.325-04:002014-05-20T22:09:39.325-04:00Jean,

I especially like 'Frank Adams.' Perhaps due to a lack of winter rain and stingy irrigation on my part, mine have made only limited appearances this year, which is disappointing.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127455457043616458.post-19254910535737831022014-05-20T08:23:03.535-04:002014-05-20T08:23:03.535-04:00Lovely iris and geranium combo.

I never staked them when I gardened in Texas but now they're under tall trees (though they get some direct sun).
