Biggest colorado lilly bloom todate. Producing tons of pads.

Also noticed lots of little ones this week. Curious if they are goldfish or Rosie reds. Stopped feeding hope some make it some don't. Circle of life. Last two pics are one of the little fry.

@Patfish did your water get low enough for the pump to suck air? If so, did it keep running or self shut-off? Any damage?
It did suck air and it must have stopped because I didn't hear or notice the pump. I unplugged right away and fixed the problem, added some water and turned on the waterfall.
Next day the water level was a little low again. The first problem caused the liner on the edge of waterfall to sink a little low and leak. Quick fix on that and back up and running. With a fresh water change.:cool:

Globeflower started blooming in my bog today. It comes back every year but doesn't seem to thrive in the bog. In fact, the original plant I put in my bog didn't even produce flowers this year.

I've never seen a deer like that either @sissy and how neat it is so friendly w/that one guy. Your plants look great! Your Banana's are way ahead of ours. Been a cool Spring w/not much sun here this year. Hoping Summer will get better.

My son feeds him everyday before he goes to work and after he comes home from work .She even gets along with his pit bulls and goes in the back yard to play with them .He follows Wally every where when he is home .Lisa told me he has to put her in the back yard while he moves the front yard and then puts her in the front yard while he mows the back yard .I told him he needs t post a video on face book of the dogs with the deer .
