Nice sissy, and where are you going to put this pond? You must the official pond remover of virginia!

 

[sissy]

Nope this one was in NC .and the lady called me this morning after talking to one of the real estate people and they gave her my name .Gosh you should see the lotus and catails nice healthy plants .Maybe you know what those things are beside the pond growing backhoe guy just scooped them up and put them in my truck .Figured you or jw would have a clue .I thought they were daylilies but what big clumps .The rocks were nice too

 

[sissy]

[taherrmann4]

ok I won't comment....... But nice lotus...

 

[sissy]

The liner I gave most of it away to a couple not far from my house they are building a pond and showed them pics of what it looked like and gave them a lot of the rocks and some of the plants

 

[sissy]

oh no you too taherrmann tsk tsk for shame on you.Can't understand why people buy trees and don't plant them .They still had the tags on them .Well there loss my gain .I'm thinking they got them at lowes same tags

 

[addy1]

Great catch sissy
the unknown plants, don't look like day lilies. Not sure what it is.

 

[sissy]

They had to huge clumps of them on either side of the pond .I thought they were kinda big for daylilies .The willows a little worse for wear .Sorta bent over guess I'm going to have to stake it up .The couple building a pond could not believe there luck .He has a tractor like yours addy and is going to put the pond right in front of there covered front porch .They could not believe it free fish free plants and free liner and free rocks they scored .I meant them 2 weeks ago at lowes and we became fast friends

 

[addy1]

That is great sissy, so glad you are able to help them out. The tree will come back, stake water mulch. You wouldn't believe some of the almost dead plants I get for a quarter that come back. (just picked up 38 more lol)

 

[sissy]

yeh well what am I going to do with it and they talked about there other ponds .They from up north and retired to Florida and hated it so made a compromise and landed here .The are a little older than me but they are really nice people also .They sold and retired younger also .Said florida was to hot for them and to many really bad storms besides the cost of hurricane insurance killing there savings .They had a nice place down there to by the pics .

 

[j.w]

What a find sissy..........don't know what the bunched plants are, sorry

 

[KennethO]

Are you referring the the clump of grass like stuff in the picture of the empty pond?
Possibly a kind of sweetflag? Break a leaf and see if it smells sweet.

 

[addy1]

Think she is referring to the first picture on the left. large type leaves.

 

[sissy]
