Hey there. I'm new to this forum. Found it by accedent while researching a pond plant I recieved today from a friend of mine on another gardening forum. Anyway a bit about me. I consider my self a die hard water garden enthusiest. I've been that way since I was 2. First time my parents took me to a mall where they had a huge fountain in the food area. One of those where the lights change colors and the fountains do cool things. After that I was introduced to the world of water gardening.
A little time line,
In the 2nd grade I had a teacher who refered to me as the fountain man which is where I get my user name. She was a huge positive influence in my life.
In the 6th grade I built a very shallow water feature which soon turned into the pond I have today.
My experience with water features is here and there. I'm still young and feal I have some learning to do.
As far as hands on experience I've done projects from small patio (whisky barrol) ponds to an installation of aerating lake fountains.
My pond today is only an 8Ft by 10 Ft bu 18" deep. I know what they mean by always make it bigger. Outside of the central pond is a smaller 4 Ft circular pond with a carnivorous bog around the edge. On the other side of the main pond is a small stream leading from a bird pool.
Header Bird pool. I like to see the birds bathing in this.
Main pond. Tomarrow when there's light I'll try to get a better picture. This was taken a year ago. The pond looks far better this year.
Notice the fishies?
Header pond. That plant is a Pink Pickerel. The rest are Blue.
Here is a photo I took today of part of my pond. The left is an Umbrella Palm and the right is a Lousiana Black Gamecock Iris.
