Kathy, Thank you for the offer but I'm not ready to trade pond plants yet. Right now I have two small ponds (more like water features) and a third one is almost finished. This one is a birdbath with a 3ft deep 5ft wide well. I also have a box pond which is about 4ft wide and 6 ft long it's basically a lined wood box that sits up on our patio. The third one almost finished is an antique bath tub. We have been planning to put in a much larger pond for sometime now and we may get it put in this year. Probably won't get started before July. My plants are pretty small and I have very little extra. I got a few plants given to me by a DG friend last year and I ordered several plants from the Texas waterlily co-op. I do have the yellow water iris. It's pretty aggressive and could probably get you some water willow later if you have any interest in that. The lily pads are from one of the hardy water lilies I got from the co-op I'd have to pull up the pot to see which one. Here is a picture from last spring of the whole pond. This was taken early summer by the end of the season you couldn't see the water.
