Dimelius' pond

[j.w]

Beautiful @Dimelius and I love Hibiscus. My friend has one growing in her sunroom all year long since 2015! It is beautiful too. I tried growing one here outside in a pot and it did great but then I had to bring it indoors for winter and I cut it back a bunch. It came back great and then I put it out again for Summer and brought it back in for winter but alas sorry to say it died that winter. Wish our weather would allow it to stay out all year long! We do have some other kinds that are hardy here that grow into trees but I couldn't get them to live either.
I saw them growing at our zoo near here and they looked wonderful!
Mine were so pretty while they lived.

Ours grows like weeds here, drop a ton of seeds and they pop up everywhere.

Are they real pretty ones? I remember when we got those seeds from a member a long time ago. I tried to grow those and they grew too but not over the winter. Can't remember that guys name.

Na half the state is already there its called the everglades. I'm constantly worried about a snapping turtle finding the pond. More so than a heron

An alligator...who care about a turtle when u got big big lizards ahahah

 

[GBBUDD]

You have monitors over there?

So far, no gators, but the county north of us now has an invasive African Land Snail problem. The snails grow to 8 inches / 20 cm and eat concrete and stucco for calcium for their shells.

Can't make that stuff up.

Or right now, birmanian's pitons can be a problem...now that are a pest into Everglades.

Oh, @Dimelius are you trying to make @addy1 feel better about her pond snakes, seeing as how I might get a python in my pond?

 

[Dimelius]

Ahah didnt remember about little worm in addy's pond...
I just know pythons are a problem now in everglades, and there are bounty hunters just for em...
