Have I over done this year?

Pearisburg, VA(Zone 7a)

The soil here is so rich (1910 home) that every plant grew huge in one summer. Please look at these pictures and tell me what I need to do to improve my massive mess. I just can't stop buying plants. I have one area for butterflies, one area is more formal in it's planting with fabric and mulch, one is a combination of everything and I think there are to many Iris.

The iris provide a wonderful hiding place for the rocks along the stream and pond in early spring but then it seems to much, even when I cut back the leaf. I'm happy for ANY suggestions.

There will be several pictures
