Marsh Marigold.

Wow Ray, gorgeous. Mine are still in bud.

Came out yesterday and today in the sunshine Dawn...like us !

What a difference a couple of days can make and so welcoming.

It certainly is !

That is really beautiful and yet more evidence that my garden needs a pond!!

oooww i must get one, lovely ray, going to pond place tomoz so will look :o))

first plant we got for the pond Sandra...already it has burst out of its pot and is slowly making its way across.Dont mind at all !
Karen..you wont regret it....its the hub of our garden......

nice you still have it then ray,,, does your pond freeze in winter and do you take pump out before it does

Took our rump out in late autumn Sandra.Yes...by heck does it freeze ! This year had to put on boiling water just so the birds could continue to drink. Froze solid for at least 2 months this year but still the plants are coming back now !

thanx for info ray it all helps me :o))

Thats okay Sandra...glad to be of help anytime.We never tire of looking at the pond and the wildlife just love it ! : o)

Really lovely Bb.....a smashing pond plant....so many flowers....the frogs will love this...:o)

hope mine is as succesfull as yours ray, i will be happy :o))

Thanks Janey...found the baby frogs amongst it last year too.
Sandra..sure it will be ! :o)

aww baby frogs, cant wait ;o)

Only the size of your fingernail Sandra...not allowed to cut the lawn for 2 weeks as they emerge and disperse around the garden !

yes ive heard that so will have to keep eyees open when it all starts here

You will ! Off to bed now Sandra..night night..and good luck at the pond place tomorrow ! x

nite ray and thanx ;o) x

Lovely plant. I believe I could gather this up wild, might put in a pond just to have such a sight. Its lovely. :-)

yes go for it GT, a pond would look lovely where you are :o)

this is the ONE I was saying you must have Sandra they look so lovely near pondS!
Great picture BB so you took your RUMP! out of the pond, I should think so too LOL

lovely pic of your marsh marigold..... i bought a small one recently and it has just started to flower....hope it gets as good as yours..........

That is very pretty :o)

perfect place..beautiful

Yes PP, I thought that about his rump too...especially as this winter was so cold!

Lovely plant BB.....

Looks lovely thats something i dont have in my pond.

OOPS Pp and Pg.....made a bit of an a...e of myself there didnt I ! Cheeky !
Hollyeves...ours was only tiny when we put it in two years ago as soon as the water was in.Sure yours will grow and spread well too.........
Thanks for all your comments.......

went for some today but hadnt got their pond plants in till this coming week so will have to go back, may try another place i know tomoz ray

Hope you get one soon Sandra..they really do brighten the pond edges !

i will im sure, got 10 little pond snails today lol, do you have your pump on all the time ray or just in the daytime

Just when we are in Sandra...evenings for a while and at weekends usually.They are pretty versatile........

thanx ray, wasnt sure, baz said "hope its not going to be burning electric all day and night" lol

For safety reasons electric is reduced to 12 volts in pumps - so only costs few pence per hour to run. Oh Sandra you ll probably have your pond full by now lol but if you happen to find a water hawthorn its worth considering as not a large plant but sends up small white flower spikes that fill the garden with a scent like vanilla essence on summer evenings its lovely.

sounds lovely ray will jot that name down ;o)) lol

did you spot the pale lemon ones at Reighton? I was tempted but I dont have margins as it is straight down to a shelf 10" down. Have you put your 'rump' back in yet? :o)

ours are out too Ray! little ray of sunshine isn't it!

Hi Seaburn...wish someone had pointed them out ! You just cant get the staff...lol
Hi Arlene..they are brilliant arent they...so cheery !

These plants have done so well this year, we have the plant but not the water lol

Good that they can live either in or out of water Dd ! We love the colour !

Sbg rump back in..like mine tender ! Lol !
