I Used one almost identical during last winter as a bathing pool for the Beatrix Potter Ducks if you look back to the blog you will see it is Painted and now has a miniature water lily in it as well as the duck ,It would not be difficult to add a solar water feature,you could not use anything to large as the water would splash and evaporate.
There are plenty to be had on e bay.

Ladies where do i start.
Water lilies will have to be Miniature Miniature called Pygmaea anything else miles to large.Doubt if that is what Morrison's have.
Sticki yes if they get Sun.Lol.
Ones which charge a battery are best as they store power the £ 5.00 ones stop when the sun goes in.
Sheila you don't Have the Right Blog the one with the Geranium is a totally different feature.

I like the idea of water, I was wondering around the rocks already mentioned if Turquoise or Colbolt blue glass chipping would work?

How about something like this on a small basis.....

Ah I remember a thing like that my mother used for washing clothes many years ago. It ended up in the garden with house leeks planted in it lol. Yes I think it would make a nice water feature :o)

I have a solar fountain, which works when the sun is out! Got to be careful the wind doesn't blow the water that's fountaining out of the pot!
It's very pretty.....
