Water Gardening: Floating Island Pond Planters, 1 by DavEdsel

My wife and I just discovered these are at our favorite garden/pond supply center. We bought an Iris, a Lobelia and a Corkscrew Rush for the pond but realized there is now planting ledge or shallow part of our pond. We were going to invert pots in the water and place the plants on these, but saw these cool floating island pond planters. The larger one has two plants - the Lobelia and the Corkscrew Rush, and the smaller one has the Iris and a small Cardinal plant (red Lobelia).

They are made of a simple Styrofoam ring covered with black, porous material held on to the ring with a draw string. So far, so great! Anyone else use these?

Here is a picture of the larger floating planter in our pond...
