The obedient plant is beautiful this time of year, it volunteered to grow at the base of the stock tank water fall into the big pond.

Lots of tiny frogs in the ponds and bog, so happy to see my green frogs survived the winter.

The bumble bees love the flowering plants

The little bird was checking out one of the resident frogs.

The moss along the bog wall is growing these neat stalks, sending up little flower buds.

Some of my resident shubunkins in the 1000 gallon stock tank. The bottom of the pond looks trashed with debris, I went to clean it out, it is all hornwort, anacharis getting ready to grow and pots of lillies.

Love hearing the frogs and other sounds on your videos, Addy. You have different sounding frogs than what I have here. Love that moss! Did you buy it, or find it in your woods and transplant it, or what?

It is self growing, just showed up, I need to keep an eye on those neat flower stocks see what they end up doing. It grows very nicely in my bog. Lines the bog wall where the water flows over.

Does it grow in full sun? I've put some moss on my log in the bog in the spots that see the most shade and its started growing back in those spots this year but in the sunny spots it just gets yellow.
