Spring pond

Three types of hardy water lilies, pickerel (not blooming yet), miniature cattails, and parrot feather. Goldfish, Japanese trapdoor snails, thousands of toad tadpoles, bull frogs, leopard frogs, banjo frogs, and one three year old snapping turtle.

Stunning! I am jealous of your lily blossoms! I see some buds on mine, but they are still far under water. You have an amazing pond.

Nice very nice @KeeperOfThePond looks very natural and like a good spot to sit back and read a good book.

Yup. I added fertilizer tabs for the second time last weekend, using my homemade tab tool :)
Mine are growing slow as well seeing as we have been in the 50s and 60s for weeks now

Hi, everyone! Brand new to this site and my first foray into the conversation. Happy to be here!
KeeperOfThePond- your pond is breathtaking, but personally l could do without the snapping turtle! :D
Laaf- May l ask you to describe your homemade tab tool? I’m afraid to fertilize my lilies because l don’t want to serve the string algae any free meals :D
