I was looking around the pond and turtle habitat/turtle bog area yesterday morning and I suddenly realized there were flowers everywhere! Four of my 5 (or 6?) water lilies were blooming -- even the one that fell into the deep end a week or so ago. The really tall water hibiscus that recently greened up nicely had 3 blooms! I planted marigolds around the habitat in the spring but they haven't flowered since I planted them -- they were covered! The purple trailing verbena always has flowers, but it was a nice contrast. A guara that I stuck in the habitat as an after thought was going through a 2nd bloom period. And there were 3 water hyacinth blooms -- even one is rare for me.
