Super nice stuff. I always wanted to try lilies but never had any success with them using a barrel. I suppose a pond will have to do. Maybe I'll have to put one in. (Sure, just put that on my "I'll get to it soon I promise" list. ). Maybe I just need to get Kien or Dez to come dig a big hole in my garden. I've seen the holes they dig. They look much nicer than the holes I dig. I fear I have already said too much. Shutting up now.

To recap: nice flowers and stuff!

Came home from 9 days away to 10 lily blooms. Only 7 shown in this pic.

Nice start Dez, the wife has a question about the plants you have in the pond. Do they just stay on the pond over the winter?

Yes. We have perennials so the plants just come back every year fuller than the year before.

Looks good. Noticed today my fish are starting to get active but I haven't fired up the waterfall yet. Might have to take the plunge and do the peroxide treatment this year.

Did you find a source for the peroxide ? I'm still looking for some and hoping to nuke my pond (of hair algae) this spring.
