I wasn’t sure if I should post this in Ponds or Iris so I put it here. This is a picture taken this summer of my Birdbath/Pond. It’s an antique cement birdbath that has a hole that runs through it (think fountain). My son made me a cement well with a pedestal to set my birdbath on. The well is approx 3 ft deep and 5ft wide. The pedestal comes up from the bottom then the birdbath sets on top of that. It’s been fitted with a pump that pushes the water in the well from the bottom thru the pedestal and out the top of the birdbath. Not a big spray it just bubbles up enough to circulate the water into the birdbath over the edge and back into the well. The birds love it. We put pond plants and goldfish in the well. One of the plants is a yellow water iris. Unfortunately it’s not flowering in this picture.
