You could be right Waddy you could dip a toasted soldier in there ;o))

Lol! ;0))

you two have made me laugh, it only opened today will look a bit more poached tomorrow !

Oh Goody I like a poached egg Lol ...

So you have a pond, Gnarly.

Me too, preferably on toast if I may ;0)

We shall ignore the other two Siris lol

No pond its in a huge sealed pot, I am in the process of getting a zinc water trough to sit along side the patio but still havnt got round to it yet ..... that was 3 years ago !!!!

Lol I'm with the egg brigade,pretty lily :-)
You've just reminded me of my job for today thinning out the water soldiers those things multiply like rabbits .

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a water soldier?

Hi Waddy

British Native floating pond plant Stratiotes aloides has spiked, jagged edged foliage in brown/olive green

Height 10cm (4") green foliage tips above water surface late in the season, White 3 petalled flowers from July

Thanks GG :-)

That's the one Gg ;-), they sink to the bottom in winter and don't know what they do down there but when they rise again in spring they've multiplied like triffids !!!, mines flowering now :-)
