Photo of Iris for naturalizing?

I have found iris pallida, the green leaf variety to 'naturalize' pretty well. They take more shade, and can handle more water than other bearded. They can compete with grass and other weeds.

Here's a picture of them growing in a grassy area at the side of the deck. They get weed whacked down along with the grass a few times each year.
