tall bearded with oriental poppies!!

Took this photo yesterday when the wind finally settled down. Have one more iris I want to add to this combo.

Think this would add nicely to the 2. This was supposed to be a rebloomer but it never has for me. Show us some of your combos!!!

jamlover:Nice!photo of your irises and oriental poppies.I can't wait until my oriental poppies bloom.Did you grow your poppies from seed?

jamlover, that's an 'electric' combination! A real pretty one, too.

Here's my iris and allium combo--

And this is Iris 'snowmound' with a pretty airy white flower. Can anyone ID it? (I wintersowed it last year and lost the label.)

Skimper, I got a piece of the oriental poppy from a friend named Betty. Had tried and tried to start a bed of the poppies from seed. They would look great in the fall, then winter-kill. Then Betty brought it to plant exchange in the fall. And ever since____well I'm now telling it "that's all the room you get" as I pull out plants beyond the designated area. And it just happens that the iris, now thought to be Eleanore Roosevelt, came from another trade with another Betty. So this has been called my "Betty combo".

Does anyone know the "official title" for this very old and common poppy?

Tabasco, I like your allium-iris combo. And can we ever do better than combining anything with white!!! Suppose some white would calm down my poppy-iris combo.
