Sir Galahad decided to bloom this morning!
They all look beautifulI need to fertilize the lilies one more time this year but finally got good coverage and a variety of blooms. The lilies in the stock tanks are taking over and I had thrown tiny pieces of damaged tubers in a small preform pond and turns out they were the purple hardy one.View attachment 114962View attachment 114969 View attachment 114974
Beautiful pics, pond and koi. Water quality looks great too!It’s been smoky here from forest fires. It makes the sun look like we’re on Mars. View attachment 115179View attachment 115177
Hello everyone. Yes, I’m a newbie. I saw this thread and thought it would be a good opportunity to share some images of what my pond looks like. It’s kidney shaped and approx. 20’x13’. We have about 1/3 of an acre lot. The main stream extends from the farthest point of our backyard. It basically divides the yard. About halfway the main stream pours into a small pool where it splits off into two streams. One stream is faster flowing than the other. Moving from Charlottesville, VA to Oregon four years ago we purchased our home with an existing koi pond. I had no experience with koi ponds. I just added a Laguna ClearFlo 4000 UVC filter kit (purchased from Webbs Water Gardens). It’s made a big difference in the water quality of our pond. We are still learning so any suggestions are always welcome. Here a few photos from yesterday and today.
Hopefully I posted my images correctly. Please lmk if not.
