Pots vs Free Range

This idea freaks me out, but I need to consider it...I built a raised bed for my bulb collection and am ready to plant. A friend recommend that I should plant my bulb collection Free Range instead of in pots. They would be grouped by type and requirements, but they would be free to wander as they need and especially go as deep as they need. Highly productive bulbs would still be in pots (I'm looking at you, Moraea polystachya). The collection consists of California and South African bulbs. No Amaryllids, all on the small side.

So as a collector, this is freaking me out a little. I'd lose control over identification in a dormant state. On the other hand, it might be freeing to just not worry about such matters any more and enjoy them as they succeed or fail in their new environment. 

Thoughts?
