Dennis,
My thoughts are that Fulva and especially Brevs don't require (maybe
even don't like) standing water, I'd say holes half way up, buried or
unburied.
IMHO

Subject: [Louisiana-Iris] iris tub
I'm cross posting this, just to annoy you guys. LOL.
Anyhoo -- I got 5 of these tubs for free and I realized they'd
potentially make great pots for growing water loving irises. They are
thick plastic, measuring 24" x 14" x 7".
My first thought was to drill some drainage holes about halfway up...
then fill up with soilless mix and plant some Louisiana seeds,
Versicolor, Tridentata, Prismatica, etc. in each tub.
But then I started thinking they'd make great sunken pots too... to grow
my mature Brevicaulis or Fulva plants without any drainage holes.
I'd be interested to get some feedback. Thoughts, anyone?
