I MUST POST!
This is the water garden I built for Dad about seven years ago. I used Dad's rock collection so he could enjoy them. He spent many hours watching the fish, bees, and butterflys. Through the years I have let it grow out of control.
SOOOO, I have trackled the project. Had to take it completely out and check for holes in the liner.
Reshaped the hole, relined, and refilled the pond.
Moved flowers and started replacing the rocks.
What I thought would be a two day job has stretched out to several since I work outside the home. I am still repotting water lillies and looking for more rocks. Will post pictures of progress.
During the organization, I have found old photos. Here I am in about '87 with crimped hair and a trophy.
Parrot Grass
The plants are a little thinner and better arranged.
The water lilies have done very well along with the bog bean. I still have a pile to pot but it is getting smaller. The gazing ball needs to be straighter.
Getting closer!
Working with cedar wood cookies, but do not think it is the solution.
A chain sawed carved head by Dad will be one added little interest.
Flowers are being thinned and moved. I have a bazillion water lilies to pot.
Reflections...the trees and my thoughts.
Mullen
Figs
Hostas
Canna Lillies
Apples
Plantain
Honeysuckle vine and Red Bud trees
Almonds and cedar posts
Irises
Roses with rain drops
...and the herd is growing. Baby girl born first, followed by twin boys two days ago.
