Darlindeb,

We bought the plant around the end of March from the Hill Country Water Gardens in Cedar Park, Texas (just north of Austin). They potted it up in a rather shallow pot with just a few inches of soil. I have fertilized it twice with Highland Rim Aquatic Plant Fertilizer pellets.

Tetleytuna,

Originally, I wanted a paler pink, but have changed my mind after seeing this gorgeous bloom. I am impressed with how bright it is without looking gaudy. They are such elegant flowers.


MerryMary,

Thank you. We are pleased beyond words, with the entire pond. We built it as a home for our turtle, but have found that it is an incredibly soothing place for us as well. I encourage everyone to put in their own pond. There is nothing that you can spend so little money on, from which you can reap so much personal reward for, than a pond. I am a total convert, and pond addict now.
