Wow, Rita. That sounds like a lot of work! Did you divide all the daylilies when you moved them or did you move the clumps?
You could put zinnia seeds in with the iris so you have some summer color without needing much water. Or salvia--they kind of like it dry. Or rose moss (portulaca) as a ground cover so water doesn't splash on the iris fans?
No matter what, it's going to look beautiful next spring!
