Sunday and Monday were warm and sunny. Progress was made on the pond. Yipee! We trimmed the liner, hauled more topsoil, transplanted purple Louisiana iris, spider wort and hostas that had been removed to dig the pond. Planted white gumpo azaleas, pink Aribesk azalea and green mound junipers. Water plants included two hardy waterlilies, two pots of anacharis and a small cattail type plant that I've lost the name to it.

The Japanese Maple looks awful. All the leaves died after the late freeze. Hopefully they will fall off and new growth will appear.

Two hummingbirds and two butterflies have already decided they like the area and are hanging around. Just wait guys......you're gonna love the pair of tree lantana I'm potting for you!
