What does your pond look like ... Today?

[dinm]

Beginning to really love the floating hearts! No bloom's today, but loving the mini-waterlily like foliage. This is my first experience with these.

Nice. I have floating hearts directly in gravel and no other water lily species, as I find the big rhizome ones a bit annoying to deal with, it actually propagated itself a few weeks ago so now I have two or three floating heart plants. I think they can propagate from practically any part of their stem, or so I read.

No bloom yet though, although I am in dappled shade, so maybe not.

We had a rare July cold front come through and today was actually pleasant outside. While outside today I decided to snap some photos.

Just the darnedest of nice days here for a long time!

Frog Pond:

@addy1 's lily she sent me a couple years ago getting it's first bloom ever!

This is planted next to the Frog Pond and I don't know what it is but it gets the prettiest small flowers of red w/yellow in Spring.
No blooms left but wondering if anyone knows what it is? Has succulent type stems:

Here is a close up:

Love this lily. The fan tails killed off three new lilies. When we did the save the pond dead of winter, never thought to add "food" plants. As the plants grew they ate the growth.

And lotus

Love those duck decoys in the first photo!

@addy , love your lotus pictures. That is a plant I've not tried yet.

I have seeds! The lotus grow free in the 300 gallon stock tank, no way to grab a tuber.

They get dirty water, stinks if you stir dirt. I let leaves etc rot away in. Has a lot of aracharnis growing also, some parrots feather. Some water willow, mainly lotus.

That looks like Hardy Ice Plant (Delosperma cooperi) to me.
