What does your pond look like ... Today?

[j.w]

Nice pix JB and wow I have never witnessed any of my fish from start to finish doing that transformation. I have about 4 of those white fish and some of the oj/white ones. Guess some more of mine will turn also. I have some big ones that are oj/white that I assume will never turn white since they are so big. Wonder why they change like that from oj to white?

Looks nice, cool, and refreshing on a very hot day!

Underwater.

and if you guys love hummingbirds I highly recommend Mexican Sunflowers. You can buy them as seed very cheap and its the easiest plant I've grown. They're annuals, but easy to collect the seeds and replant in Spring. They get huge; well over a foot above its 4'-6' height. I see hummingbirds at it all the time. They don't even glance at the hummingbird feeder next to it.

Next year I'm going to plant a row of them, though outside of the pond area since they're so massive.

Neat plant that Mexican Sunflower, I really like it and I'll check around to see if I can find it here.

I'm about to have a pond overhaul and putting in some hyacinths and other plants. Looking forward to it.

Bet it will look even nicer then it already does w/ the nice plants in there. Oh I love your big palm tree by your pond! I can't see the top but love what I see of the trunk.
I love palm trees.............can you tell?

Thank you Jay. W. It's a Mexican fan palm and this might give you a better idea of what it looks like.

Are you buying your hyacinths? Mail order perhaps? If so where? I would like to order a few.......thanks.

Lou I'm going to buy them from a local source here in Las Vegas. The people who are redoing my pond also have a large koi and plant garden; this is a huge operation here. So I'm getting The plants and a couple more clay fish from them.

Thank you Gloria. Enjoy your pond redo.

Been off for a week and just today I decided to do some maintenance of the pond. I moved the lily pads away from the fountain and got that back up and running. Did some dead heading of the plants.

Sorry the images are sideways. Problems with the upload feature.

I thought you'd like this Fountain Grass variety we have around the pond. My pictures don't do their brilliant color justice...

Very pretty! Too bad it is not a hardy

@Gloria K. wow that is a nice big beautiful palm! I have a Chinese Windmill palm growing next to my pond but I started it from a seed I found at the zoo here. It's been growing for a few years now and is only about 3 ft tall now. Have to grow the cold hardy ones here as the Mexican Fan ones don't survive.
