New to DG, so please bear with me...I'm digging a seaside pond in a tropical rainforest area of Panama; coconut palms all around. The water table is very high, and hole will fill with brackish water, which I will feed with freshwater runoff, perhaps greywater. Temp consistently in the 80's and 90's. Any suggestions about easycare plants that will thrive in and around the pond? Any flowering anything? Many thanks.

My best suggestion would be to look around in nature at what plants grow in Panama near brackish waters. Native plants will be the best adapted to your climate.
Makes good sense, and I will. But do I want to introduce anything new? Do you know if any lilies, hyacinths, or the like are comfortable in high saline environments?
