DeskTop Wallpaper
With Netscape you can right click an image and set it as
the wallpaper for your desktop. This is the shot I use so that I can be at my pond all day
while I am at work.
The water plants in place are:
Variegated Canna - White Lily
Arum - Water Hyacinth
Parrots Feather - Arrowhead Taro
Anacharis - Cobomba
and a Hardy Lily called "Attraction" |
 |
Here we go 'Round the
Mulberry ....
The Landscaping, not on the waterfall, that is in place
around the pond path starts from the left with a large Canna followed by:
Silver Mound Artemisia
Blue Clips (Campanula Carpatica)
Stone Crop (Sedum Vera Jameson)
Rosy Glow (Sedum Rosy Glow)
and it repeats again in that order around the pond, ending with a Silver Mound. |
 |
And in this Corner...
Not a great picture, but in the back left corner behind
the header pool are few Caladium. These large red and green leafed plants were great for
hiding the filter and adding color.
The plant in the planter on the front of the header pool
is:
Sprengeri (Asparagus Sprengeri)
It worked great to break up the hard line of the header
pool capping and should fill in nicely. |
 |
Topping things off!
The top of the header pool provided a landscaping and
waterscaping opportunity all its own. The Sprengeri in the planter covered the rock base
and I filled the surrounding soil with Ivy and Vinca that should grow down to cover the
rock wall of the header pool.
In the water is water lettuce that will act as a
vegetative filter and a pot of Chocolate Mint that is submerged to the lip of the pot and
growing quite nicely. |

My Favorite
Seeing as Water Gardening is new to me I was thrilled by
this "Attraction" hardy lily's arrival. I planted it as root and it actually
grew (wonders will never cease).
This is an early picture, it now has three blooms and
about a dozen lily pads
As you can see it is not only my favorite but it seems
the pads are well liked by some pond inhabitants.
I sure hope I buried RockZilla deep enough! |
