I've got 8 fish (one koi )who is about a foot long 3 shubunkins and 4 goldies. I do see the odd frog but they don't hang about - (felix of course) I think there would be a lot more visitors if it wasn't for Felix! I did notice some very small babies in there last weekend (first time in 5 years)! Hope they survive Sue.

Hi JJ thanks, I have had a lot of trouble over the years trying to grow waterlillies. I've spent a fortune! I put them in the pond and a week later they're dead. This one though has lasted since June and it does look healthy, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it comes back again next year.
As usual i don't know the name but it has still got the label on it! I'll let you know tomorrow.

Hi Jen the lily is called Nymphea (Joey Tomocik) It has a a few flowers but the didnt open probably due to lack of sunlight.

Thanyou Homebird, I must admit I'm really pleased how this area has turned out. Hubby made the pond and I did the planting. It was a bit of beginners luck really, it's my favourite part of the garden.

Gorgeous pond scene. I love the crocosmia all arching out over the water like that. (Is that what they are?) :-)
