Here is the pond after a week of the pump being on. I have a bit of foam by the waterfall and we have had about an inch or two of rain today.

Thanks Addy. I am still thinking about doing a bog on the opposite side of my filter falls at the top. I cut down the monster grass and now need to transplant it.

Your pond and falls are looking good up and running and all those grass plants look nice! I pulled out all the grass plants I had cuz they put seeds everywhere and it was a pain to keep the little sprouts from taking over. Guess there are some that aren't so bad about exploding everywhere but I had Mexican Feather Grass and it was a monster. I had Pampas Grass too and the wind here wrecked it every time it got the big pretty plumes so I gave that away. Yours all look beautiful where you have them.

Addy i have no idea. You want some??

Sure! you want some lilies or some more karly? I can take some from a clump, it has not started growing yet, not sure if this is when you would move it or not.
How about some of the ones in picture 2,3,4 with a bunch of those white in pic #3 and some of the tall in pic #3. Just make it one of those big boxes let me know shipping and I will send it to you. I have some rocky hard to mow little hills in the front at the end of our driveway. I want to convert those hills to ornamental grasses.

They will all grow lol, my karly was just three blades of grass, when I bought it, that grew nicely into a bunch of great clumps of grass.

Today I started laying out the design of the bog. Went and got some rock from the neighborhood, need about 10 more loads like the one I did today... I am really tired of hunting for rock then loading it in the truck then unloading it into wheel barrow and then finally wheeling that heavy thing up my small hill to where the bog is going to be. Now that I have started I can't quit. Plan on working on it during the evenings after work if it is nice and if I am not too tired. I am looking forward to the finished product and getting some plants in there.
