Beautiful! I love the bright pink color!

Beautiful

Lovely bright flowers.

Here is a little mini pond I made for the deck this summer. I have really enjoyed it so far. It is near a seating area so I get to see the visiting dragonflies up close. I forgot the name of this lotus. It was Texas something.

Very pretty Audrey

First Water Lily of the year.

That's beautiful, Audrey! How big is that container?

Love the miniature ponds.

It is 2ftx2ft . I almost drilled holes in it before I decided to make a mini pond. Glad I did not do that. I wish I had four more of that same pot.

did you line it with plastic or just fill it w water?

I just filled it with water. It did not come with any drainage holes.

Water Hyacinth and water lettuce isn't blooming yet..they have about covered the top of the pond though.no lilies this year .".and the fogger seems to be broken... I need an out of the water pump/filter with a UV chamber...I'm wanting to see the koi again...but there is so little water space available...I hate to decrease their space with an in the water unit

Gordon is that a Begonia in the front of the picture and is it growing in the pond?

My first set of blooms from my Momo Batan. I think it looks good even when it is fading and fixing to drop its petals.

ha, the flower is really pretty, but I am fixated on the rock

Yep, I got I thing for rocks as well and do a lot of dry stacking and collecting rock wherever I go. The rock behind them is stacked up high around a large stock tank. My lovely horse decided to get inside of it and it busted a seam so I put a liner in it and made it into a pond. The carved rock was part of a broken piece of artwork a friend left here, so I drilled a hole through it for a fountain. I blew my pond electric outlet so no cool water features this summer until we get it fixed.

This is the first flower on Wanvisa, a new one for me. It is a hardy with characteristics of a tropical. The petals are sort of translucent with stripes and spots. This photo was taken yesterday just as it opened. Today it is proudly standing about 5" out of the water.

Very pretty Alice! I love its stripes.

Alice, Very nice I have a new orange WL, well it is suppose to be orange but more peachy, It's hardy and has patterned leaves. I must look for the striping yours has and see if mine has that. I haven't gotten a good pic of it yet. The color always washes out in my pics, too much sun.
The water willow is blooming, such small delicate flowers a real fav of mine.
