What does your pond look like ... Today?

[pecan]

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.

I plant mine in dish pans from Walmart only I bought black.

Our warm weather has plants growing quickly.

Purple Coneflower, Blanket Flower, and Black-eyed Susans are all looking by the pond.

I was also thrilled to find three Orange Milkweed seedlings. They're near one of the full grown plants. I didn't seed them there, so they must be from one of the ponds I let open. I love seeing those volunteers, and I planned on putting some there anyway!

Of course, I had to add another frog pic. Bull and Green frogs share the same section of the pond.

Very nice pics, Red. The colors really pop. I especially like the middle one, with the cedar tree in the background.

This cedar is around 100 yrs. old - it shades the pond from the south sun. It's messy but I love it:

16 ft. around at the base.

I need to order some soon, along with another diffuser. I try to match my water temp, with that of the hatchery, which is generally around 52 degrees. I project about 2 1/2 weeks. There will be pics at minimum.

I took a photo of the pond last night just after dark. I wanted to see how my new clock looked with a small spotlight on it. Hopefully it'll last. I've had outdoor clocks that hardly make it through a year.

Marsh Marigold is close to blooming.

Grape Hyacinths are blooming. They REALLY shot up in the last three days.

Blue Flag Iris has also shot up. Two weeks ago, it was no taller than that small rock on the bottom left.

Green Frog.

and I was thrilled to see one of my Orange Milkweeds popping through the soil today. Hopefully my others out in the native garden will start growing soon, too.
