A friend helped out............ spirea bridal wreath

Bridalwreath Spirea, spiraea prunifolia, is a long-time favorite with its double, pure white flowers that bloom abundantly on arching branches in early spring. The clean, deep blue-green summer foliage develops an attractive yellow-orange to purple fall color. It is rounded with ascending graceful arching branches that are leggy, and somewhat irregular. Bridalwreath is truly a low-maintenance shrub with no problems. It grows to 5-9 feet tall, spreading to 6-8 feet. It requires full sun, average soil; occasional pruning my be needed just to maintain shape. Remove some of the oldest canes at ground level after bloom. Can be used as a single specimen, hedge or in shrub plantings.

I just put 2 lillies in my pond and had a talk with aggie hope it helps .Well was a sad day for me as one of my fish after 6 years jumped out of the pond and what sucks is on the side he jumped out I just put a rock lip up that extends over the top of the pond by 4 inches .I called him snake and now one of my fish does not have a partner .I measured him and I thought he was smaller but he was over 12 inches long and he was one of my only 2 shabunkins I had .I tried to always 2 of each kind .

Hope Aggie listens, they would provide a nice cool spot for her to hang out. Sorry to hear about the one jumping out. It's hard enough losing one when you first get them but after having taken care of them that many years it makes it even harder. RIP little sanke.

yeh still can't figure out how he got over the lip of the pond ,the board under the stone is over the pond by almost 2 inches and then yesterday I added rock on top of that and the rock extended 4 inches .The water level is 6 inches below that and there is a screen I made that covers that side of the pond .There is only a foot between that and that side .He was one of the fish that turned color he was more black across the back before but had in the last year turned almost florescent yellow
