What does your pond look like ... Today?

maybe they too have seen an owl

At least no snakes yet! They wiped out my frog population in 2022.

Happy Spring!
I finally got around to my annual Japanese maple pruning, rainy morning here though so a soggy day for it. It’s nice to see the tree’s old legs again, though. She’s worth the trouble and anchors our pond area.

Fish and lilies waking up!

Still working on landscaping and edging, so not really finished version especially this side could use some nice rocks. This Tulip's been in bloom for a week now, added a hydrangea and the green shrub is mahonia which should bloom nicely in the summer. Also spider wort but barely can be seen as its small at the moment and bamboo in the 2nd image (Fargesia rufa) that i badly imaged .

The fish kept toying with the fern so I had to move it a bit, I think I even have a Geranium that's growing on this one small fern in between rocks, it seems to be in bloom, very odd but nature.

Thinking of adding a rope fence, was in a public garden the other day and it looks nice especially as it ages and be better since visiting kids will at least understand that you're not meant to go there, a bit less extreme than thorns.

Might be hard to tell but the pond's murky today. Not nearly as much as it was an hour ago. I was scooping muck off the bottom this morning.

Looks great! I need to scoop this evening, I pruned my lilies yesterday for the second time this spring.

I stuck Marsh marigold in the flagstone a couple years ago. Usually when I try sticking plants in the rocks they don't last long, but this one made it long enough to bloom. There's also a couple frogs in this photo.

Lilies growing water clear, parrots feather going crazy.

First blooms have arrived: White Calla, Corkscrew Rush and Cutthroat and White pitcher plants. All in the bog.
