Thanks, It has some very nice plants in it. I belong to a Hobby Greenhouse Assoc. and it was a summer project at our annual picnic. Everyone brought plant starters to share and there was a great variety of plants. I hope I will be able to maintain it over the winter. I did two of them this one with the sedums and another with hosta, ivy, impatiens, squill and lobelia.
I wanted to post another pic of my birdbath pond with the perilla. I didn't have room to put this pot of taro in the ponds so I just sat it here next to this pond and I really love the look of the large smooth leaves against the dark curly leaves of the perilla. I also have a green and white variegated grass growing not too far away that fits in nicely with the color combo, too.
