Water feature up and running......

I love it Dotty. Does it sound lovely too?
What is your red stemmed plant to the right, that is nice.

Dawn it is right next to the decking area so we can hear it, the red stemmed plant is a Ligularia (pressie from Kathy)

If you dont want the whisky DD, send it up here!! LOL.
Great idea....the fountain I mean!

Unfortunately it was half a barrel hence it was empty lol

Im a half full person myself!

Oh yes Dotty, I recognise it as ligularia now. I have grown lots and they are around the pond, they survived the Winter ok. Mine arent as far on as yours tho.

Lol Tet........Dawn the plants Kathy sent were really big and they flowered the first year we had them, I expect yours look lovely growing around your lake, it would be a wonderful sight.

I hope so Dotty. Do you remember the variety, do they have yellow flowers?

Dawn it was Ligularia Britt Marie Crawford, it does have yellow flowers they all do as far as I can tell.

Thanks Dd, Kathy sent me some seed but cant remember tne variety just now. I get names mixed up. Im pretty sure I have this one and then one similar with maroon leaves and then another green leaved one but the leaves arent rounded but quite divided.

There are many different ones we grow three kinds but have to keep them fairly small...

I look forward to seeing photos of the others.
