What does your pond look like ... Today?

[addy1]

The lilies are going crazy now. I have lilies blooming in five ponds right now.

This one is so huge!

The shallow stream pond has a almost black doing beautifully, It should never survive the winter, maybe a foot deep

Growing with the lily in the stream pond

And of course some fish loving the anacharis forest.

I put that green duck weed in my new little frog pond and it grew so thick it covered every inch so I netted it all out and put it in my bigger fish pond and it's almost all gone! Fish pigs

Azolla and frogbit! also about 30 lilies.

 

[j.w]

Ah the lovely Azolla, I love that little plant! Never, ever have I had the fortune to have any frog bit.

 

[mrsclem]

The frogbit was a freebe with the azolla. I thought it was water lettuce. It spreads fast but not as fast as the azolla.

When you say you turned it loose, did you take it out of it's pot?

In my 1000 gallon pond I turned 4 lilies loose, knowing they can cause havoc. My intention is to groom the roots back every year. The water is only around 2.5 feet deep so easy to do. Dragging the oil pans out was getting tough esp if one jumped its pot which this big bloomer was doing every summer.

The big pond, nope they are still very controlled.

Pretty bad.
The UV sterilizer in my pile of crap SMARTPOND pressurized filter is out again.
But I just bought a new, larger, better filter and at long last that SMARTPOND is going into the dumpster!

Ugg. My pond's a mess. Guess what my fishies have been up to for the past two days....

At least the water lilies are blooming nicely!

After I climbed in & cleared some of the lily pads & toppled lizard tail so the skimmers could do a better job of pulling some of the foam off the surface. But still.... yuk! Goofy fish!
