Pond part 2









My partner is moving towards finishing the pond. Last week, he filled the pond with a range of water-loving plants.

This tropical water lily bloomed only a few days after being put in. Very encouraging!










We also gathered some rocks around the pond for texture. Elephant ear, galangal, aloe vera and various other shade-loving plants have been experimentally planted around the pond.














The pond is very much a Work-In-Progress.. so plants will come and go. There was a 'grass' plant I bought at a sale six months ago which has finally been put where it belongs. We shall experiment to see if it survives in full water. I have no knowledge of what the plant is called or what conditions it likes, so any comments are welcome!
