My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

QUEEN'S CIRCLE is Great. Companion Iris Suggestions?

10 years ago

"Queen's Circle" is new to my garden this year. It is short, but this might be the classiest looking iris I've ever seen. If any of you have grown this iris, what companion iris plants would you recommend. "Color Me Blue" seems to look good next to it, but I'd like to add some others as well.

    Here are a couple of pics that may help.
    I wish I had a dynamite combo but all I can think of is a purple and an amber (the deeper color of the beard on Queen's Circle) added for punch. Don't know if Amber Tambour's bloom would coincide? Or if Dusky Challenger, Royal Intrigue or Titan's Glory be the correct shade of purple?
    I know proportions are vital for a stunning combo. A large amount of the anchoring color (Color Me Blue) is best. If there are tall trees as a background solid white may work.

    Well, pictures won't upload tonight. Hmmm, today they do if I use Photo and not Houzz Photo. Strange.
