@sissy Mine are coming up too but I don't have them around my pond and not up near my house windows anymore either. I moved them all to over by my greenhouse. Today I have to put the rocks back around part of my pond as I took them out to get the huge Sweet Flag outta there. Man that plant had root tentacles that attached themselves to the liner in my pond and to the big edge rocks next to my pond! I had to pry them off and saw that plant down inch by inch!

None of my banana plants came back this year! I was going to move them behind the ponds to act as a screen. Guess the crazy winter weather got those as well as all but one lotus plant.

@mrsclem Sometimes it takes them awhile to come back from their roots when it's been very cold so there might be some hope.

I'm hoping they come back. The tank with the lotus is next to where the bananas are. We had a really cold winter and not a lot of snow cover. My lotus in my preform is doing great!

If they are just coming up here yours will come up way after mine do .To help them you can add some fertilizer and a little epsom salts

Did you grow them from seed yourself if so any tricks and tips you can share? Knave a bunch that I need to start.
Tips? Well...I got lucky
Put seeds in water glass
Changed water with pond water every other day.
When about 6 inches tall i put in a pail with garden clay
After first arial leaf, started monthly fertilizer.

Lovely as usual and nice clear water. I never had any luck w/those Water Hyacinth. Think my pond is too rowdy for them. Looks like you have yours placed in calm shallow water to start.

Everyone’s ponds are looking great this spring. (y) I finally got our hyacinth starts anchored along one edge. It should spread like crazy once the water warms a bit. View attachment 110863View attachment 110862


Wow really love your pond! Waterfall looks very very very nice! Trying to get some Japanese style in there? I see a maple and moss ? on the rocks on the right?

Thanks! Our whole setup was built around that old Japanese maple. It was planted in the early ‘60s by the original home owner, fifty years before the pond went in. I’m crazy about moss, ferns and stone, too.
