waterlily pink 002

This is so pretty and ingenious Brian! Well done! I have a small water lily in the pond, but it's not doing so well.

I'm putting this in to my favourites...it's so pretty. I remember when you made it Brian...I think!

Karen I have brainstorms and try out different ideas some work some don't.

Well, this is a good un!

Brian-I have some little beauties that somehow seem to have your name on them,which would be ideal.All still probably a bit too small to risk the journey at the moment.In particular,Physoplexis comosa,still tiny but looking very healthy and slug free.
Didn't you have that nice Erigeron 'Four Winds' in there?

Phil four Winds is in flower now but always had too big a root system to put into the narrow space.( No I have not killed it)The Geranium Dalmaticum is yours
Its strange you should mention Four Winds I was looking at it before coming on Goy and wondering If cuttings take I suppose with a Daisy flower the obvious is seed .Did you grow it from seed.
As for the Physoplexis yes it would probably like it there the question would be keeping slugs and snails away at the moment there is not much to attract them .

The Erigeron was just a rooted sideshoot.Not sure what you would get from seed.

I LOVE this ! How did you make it ?

The outside is a disused planter with drainage holes, inside a 50 Litre barrel I cut down.
Was lucky to find two items that fitted together.
there is a blog around June/July 2011

I was just going to ask when you wrote about making this, so will go and find your 'old' blog . . . you must be extremely pleased, this is SO beautiful!! Definitely something special about reflective pools: added to faves :))
