Welcome and you certainly have a lovely pond there. I admire your restraint in not overfilling it with plants like I have!

Quick question on the Indiana Lily. I know they're supposed to be on the dwarf side and that looks like it is staying smallish. Can you tell me how big the leaves have gotten and an estimate of the total spread/width of the plant on the pond's surface?

Largest Pads are 3.5 inches and total spread is a little over 3 feet. I wanted a variety that wouldn't take over the whole pond, so I could see the fish more.

Thanks. And now I can see from the closeup that is a pre-formed pond. You've done a very nice job working into your landscape.

And Sissy another way to recycle was I built a small sitting platform with old decking on top of the two pallets the river rock came on:
