Pond Flowers

Jun 19, 2009
I know, I Know.  I'm lame, all I post about is our pond.  But to me it is so exciting!!  We've had flowers on our lilies (and iris's I think) start blooming.  In all honestly I don't remember the different kind of plants we bought.  Especially one kind that has been blooming like mad, but its pretty, I think the plant is an iris but I have no idea.  I do know we have water lily's, water hyacinth, and water lettuce.  Along with another plant that I don't recall what it is.

But the possible Iris has been blooming.  Attached are some of the pictures I've taken of it.  We had just one blossom when it was raining, then this last week it had an additional 2 blossoms!!

Our water lilies all have buds that I'm hoping will open this summer.   Out of the 3 water lilies we have one is starting to open.  

Also last Friday we added rocks to the pond and gave our 13 fishies some hidey-holes.  Basically really large slabs of rock across some of the shelves.  We did this in 2 corners of the pond so now it can be difficult to find them as they hide under the rocks as well as under the pump...silly fish!!

Below is my attempt at a slideshow of the pictures I've taken this last couple of weeks, sorry kinda long and scattered post, but its how my mind works so you'll just have to deal with it for anyone who reads this.
