Your lovely garden looks like it ought to be featured in a gardening magazine. All that time spent looking at gardening books has paid off for you! Congratulations on a truly beautiful spot.

Just gorgeous! Is the papyrus growing in the water?

Thanks for your nice comments. I love it. The papyrus is not growing in the water. The fountain is shallow and I don't want too much in there. I do grow a lotus in the pond now. It's out for the winter since it's dormant. Scared me to death when it began dormancy. I thought I'd lost it.

I do have reeds in there that I have to dig out and pot. They will take over if I don't. Silly me. The mound is covered with blue iris in the spring. I love it when that happens. But this garden looks good year around.

How do you protect it in winter? We have had some freezes lately.

There's no good way to protect it but it hasn't had a problem with the cold so far.
