i am drowning!

the benches that have been added to main street recently are a nice touch. some of the other recent streetscape additions have been misfires. many of the planters look like this one, or worse — empty, dead or dying plants, and consistently overwatered. i seem to recall there are some health risks with having lots of pools of standing water around.

certainly not pure spring water, but mostly water, yes.

It appears to be a type of New Zealand flax which requires moderate water. The soil in the container should be fairly dry before watering again. It's not drought-resistant, but it certainly does not require daily watering.
