What does your pond look like ... Today?

[EricV]

I went camping for 4 days and I returned to find a lot of color around the pond.

@JBtheExplorer , the rabbits are doing a number on my blazing star this year. Can I plant the seeds from the one or two that will actually mature so that there are a wider variety of targets next year?

Taking the good with the bad: the water plants are growing well here but a hummingbird hit the window and didn't recover...

You can try, but I leave mine go to seed and have only ever seen one seedling appear.

Ah sad @Troutredds I had the same thing happen here w/a little hummer.

Your pond looks great! One would never know it was man made as it looks so natural.

@EricV - I scatter the seeds from our blazing star and always get lots of seedlings. So it's worth a try! We're having the same issue with a rabbit this year - or rabbits. There seems to be an army of them. While I'm chasing one out of my beets, the other is munching the liatris!

My poor neglected pond. Between buckets of rain and working on my sunroom I haven't done anything to the pond or yard in weeks. It does look sassy after a good rain though.

 

[j.w]

It looks just beautiful sitting there even being ignored by you @tbendl

I climbed up the waterfall today for a different angle on things. I really enjoy viewing the variety of summer ponds on this thread. Keep those great pics coming.
