June 12th already..so, let's check in and tell about our ponds at this stage of the season. Would be kinda nice to post pictures too over at the Photo forum...hint, hint.
I'll start.
The lilies are blooming like crazy in the pond, which is in dappled shade and surrounded by tall pines. The umbrella palm, cattail, pickeral, thalia, watercress, parrots feather and colocasia are growing well. I just added a peace lily and a couple of white impatiens (bare-root) to the shady waterfall and now I need to get some water hyacinths since they do such a great job with obsorbing nutrients.
The fish are all still present and accounted for with the exception of one of the Orfes. And I have lots of green frogs who like to float on the lily pads...they 'squeak' and jump when I approach.
The water is almost crystal clear, which makes me a happy ponder!!!
(My second pond is almost finished...totally different design from the first..Yea!)
