What does your pond look like ... Today?

Looks like you could go for a nice cool swim in your pretty pond @Mike in Vermont

I haven't been posting nearly as many photos/videos of my pond this year. Been focused on the native garden, but the pond is still doing great!

So hot today decided to take some pictures so I could view my pond while sitting in the AC! Forgive the photo overload, I get carried away.

Some of the herd

Peaches and cream lily

Love the reflection a shame the flower is washed out.

Aflame lily

Mayla lily

Lily overview - Just went in yesterday and cut back most of damaged leaves, had an aphid outbreak but some lacewing larvae came in and helped clear it up!

Frogs
I love the stages of lilies in this picture, the bloom, the done with reflection and the bud under water still

This guy had a white moth in his mouth.

Misc.

Your plants around your pond are really filling in - looking good!

The lilies are still blooming beautifully even in this horrible heat we are having

Here's a shot taken through my window. You can see the majority of plants in my pond area are now native. Still have some non-natives to remove, but that'll come in Fall.

A photo of my waterlilies taken earlier today.

Hoping now that the temps are going up here that I will get more than 1 lily bloom at a time.

My friend dropped me off some water lettuce. It fits in nicely with the pads.

And here's one of the whole pond with the new plants. It rained hard today, so the water is a little cloudy.

Went to nursery last evening look for some cool plants..and brought 2 plants for my pond
Photos captured before going out

lily pads are growing so fast the days, am loving it

So here is the FIRST plants, the umbrella palm(looks like its a dwarf)

and here is the other, A GAINT WATER LETTUCE.. lol
never seen such huge lettuce before, its even bigger than those lily pads.

The lettuce I've ordered online looks like its child on the right side
any idea if they're of different species or some other reason?
