Here is the monster water plant. The Birdbath pond is approx 6ft across and 3ft deep. It is a concrete well with a cast column in the middle for the Bird Bath to sit on. The water is pumped up though the column and birdbath to flow over the edge and back into the pond well. The water iris is filling about 1/3 of the open space The plant sits on a plastic milk crate the roots grow completely thru and around the crate to the point that it can no longer be seen. I have the pond more than 1/2 empty hope fully next week I will take out the plants remove the rest of the water and Ric and the boys can get it out. Last year we started to tile the edge of the pond. About 3/4's of it is done just the back needs tiled and then all the tile needs grouted so when that is finished I can put some of the plants back into it.
