Lobelia cardinalis & Persicaria

Lovely with the water in the background - sort of makes it look mediterranean doesn't it?

A really beautiful photograph Dawn.

Agree with Sheilar and Linda!! Beautiful!

Gorgeous area Dawn....

What a beautiful little scene Dawn :)

Very beautiful. From the thumbnail I was thinking a little collection of succulents. I was sweetly surprized. Great shot.

Wonderful photo.

Lovely

That's a lovely little scene Dawn. The water looks very clean.

Fabulous photo Dawn the plants compliment each pther so well , Lovely :o))

Thanks everyone for your kind words. These plants are enjoying the damp edge of the pond.

Bob, the water is clear although some submerged weed.

A few weeks ago we dropped in 50 small mirror carp to keep the weed down - I've not seen one since, lol.

very beautiful. So hard to make a pond edge look natural. I also like the small grasses. Is your pond lined? did you do anything to make the edge a damp area? I would love to know a bit more and perhaps a wider view of this area. Im not so good at water gardening - struggling at the moment so any tips appreciated.

Hello Poppy. Welcome to Goy. No, my pond doesnt have a liner, it is clay lined, so easy for me to set marginal plants on the bank. There are other pics of the pond under my photos - also if you scroll to the bottom of this page, you'll see the letters of the alphabet, click on P and then Pond Ideas, there you will see pics and blogs of other members, hope this helps.

Love this

thanks da I will follow your advice

Thanks Florahead.
Good luck Poppy.

Lovely sunshine and what a pretty scene!

Thanks Karen. The fern to the left is Osmunda regalis - should be nice when it gets nice and big.

Yes, nothing really beats a good fern at the water's edge!

:-)

Classic composition. Lovely all round.

Thanks guys x

Anther lovely scene, love the Lobelia Cardinalis it looks just right in that setting, will have to get some for my little pond area.

Thanks Pansy.

Such a beautiful photo . . . how lovely to have a wildlife pond. :))

Thanks Sheila, I enjoy the pond, went through a gradual stage of being over run with bulrushes and reeds but under control now so virtually maintenance free.
