Love your nicely lined up lilies, mine are just shoved in here and there. Still shallow so they get a good start on the season.

haha, its my OCD at work. I actually netted off that step and put them there while I netted out the rest of the pond for the spring cleaning. They are about 8" down from the top of the pots to the surface. Ill drop them lower and spread them out once they start growing.

Good grief your pond is ridiculously gorgeous!
I forgot to take a picture yesterday but I'm super excited that I have purple and yellow flowers growing out of my bog and pond for the first time. I'm pretty sure the yellow is the iris and I'm sure Addy knows what the purple flower is since she sent it to me BUT THEY ARE BLOOMING!!!
Hehe
I also just received my new pump and my new filter is "in route" to be delivered today.
Who says you can't have Christmas in April???

The weather is perfect today, and that means the pondlife is active!

haha, its my OCD at work. .

Someone with OCD could never live here. I let weeds grow that are good for the bees, dandelions, henbit, creeping charlie, etc. Occasionally clean up the huge weeds. I let mint grow wild, it gives the bees good nectar in the fall.

Converted grass to wildflowers, fence lines have bulbs, ornamental grasses, therefore no weed wacking...............

What do you plant your lilies in? I pulled mine today and put them in a stock tank, as I'll be working on them tomorrow.
