What does your pond look like ... Today?

[GBBUDD]

Most of mine have a great smell, in the summer when they are blooming the back yard smells great. I need to be at the boat on my older lappy to get the name. I never remember them all.

I think it is razzelberry. I put my special hybrid lilies in the hot tub pond to keep track of them. A swap with another GPF member.

i love watching when someone goes to smell a lilly and they get to close and look like the scare crow from the wizard of ozz with a black nose from the pollen ok or yellow

lol I never get that close, the ones in the big pond I would need to wade to get to them. You can just stand in the back yard and smell them.

I've never noticed any of my waterlilies having a particularly strong scent... ??? Maybe they just sort of blend in with everything else that's blooming out in the garden & I just don't notice or differentiate the smell?

This is a forum full of artists working in nature's own palette. What a joy to see so many glorious ponds! And the habitats that are created when you add a pond to a yard are just remarkable. A hobby that gives and gives and gives!

Might be, all I know is the smell is wonderful and I have had my nose in enough of them to know the smell.

ditto; until @addy1 's post, I didn't know any water lilies HAD a nice scent! Hence why I asked; the wife loves flowers with a good scent, so I'm looking to get Razzberry in our pond sooner or later! @addy1 ; I could google, but besides Razzberry, are there other cultivars you'd recommend for scent?

All the colors are out but it's a bit overcast .

I have colorado, mayla, wavisa, georgia peach, purple fantasy, razzberry, charlene strawn, almost black, a white, a huge flower lily need to recall the name, and others, need my list on my other lappy. For some reason my pond folder via one drive is empty

The bog today...............

I used to have a forest of hornwort, this year it is a forest of anacharis, it is growing unreal. The fish can't eat it all. Five foot deep area.

The iris are just so beautiful this year

Still a bit brown after the new bog build, but starting the clear up!
