Aquatic iris would be an option where water levels give way to drought, they are tough as boots and less likely to be gobbled by grazing critters
I really like this idea!!! Any particular iris for West Central Texas?
Brandon, here in E Texas, my Blue Flag and my Louisiana Iris has done really well planted along the water edge. The plants are setting in about a foot of water right now and last summer they did well about 18" from the waters edge. They are hardy and the also put out some nice looking flowers with the La being a yellow flower. Blue flag have already been pictured here. The iris is spreading by about 1/3rd of the original plant size. And doing well. hope this helps u make a call on the iris
