I see your bog bean is finding itself right at home @JBtheExplorer !

here is my pond as of yesterday. Fish are slowing down a bit as winter gets going.

Here the fish are active all year round but slow a lot during the winter months.

You threw me for a second with your mention of "winter"!

A few pics from today and one of I'm guessing of a young dragon fly.

Very nice! And, your insect is a type of Robber fly, I do believe.

Yep I know what you mean as I worked in Canada for 20 years while living in Australia so the change of seasons is hard to keep track of sometimes!

It is. I've only had it a week and have already seen noticeable growth.

Even better, if you noticed it in the photo above, I found this freshly moulted damselfly drying out. Soon, it'll be able to fly.

1 year anniversary

First waterlily of the year.

The lily had another bud open, so darn beautiful. I got them last year in a trade for my purple hybrid. I need to feed these lilies, there are not enough fish in the pond to feed them well.

Second day of the lily being opened and another just opened.

This one just opened

This is what water lilies look like when you don't fertilize them. No blooms for me! But good news, there hasn't been an algae bloom yet this year.

 

[j.w]

Yep this is what is happening to me, no fert no bloom. Mine are free floating so not even any media.

Around the pond.............took a quick look as we pulled more honey frames.

The bee balm is blooming beautifully

A lot of these guys flying around, so hard to catch a shot, they land and move on in a blink.

One of my fav lilies, wanvisa
