A little watering hole

Yes I do remember you constructing this Brian ... long time for another flower to bloom ... but well worth the wait!

I remember too it looks great how deep is the barrel Brian. ?

Thats answered my last question, I bet the birds have been queuing to have a wash & brush-up .

3d about 18 inches top to bottom

Thank you Brian I was asking as I ve bought some round tubs and wondered if they woukd be deep enough to take a big water lily as I have small and big water lilys. But I do love this with the planting on the out side.

That looks really pretty. Well done.

Cute design, Brian... added to GoYpedia.
any visiting amphibians ?

Terra only ones I see are water-boatmen scooting about they start out very tiny and rapidly grow to full size then disappear,short life cycle I presume

Yes, those water-boatmen grow quickly don't they.

Very effective love the waterlily....

Oh! It looks lovely, I have done something like this but yours looks better than mine, I see a revamp coming on when I I'm fitter due to a few set backs health wise, roll on next year LOL.
Mine is set in the ground but I'm sure I can come up with something to improve mine? I have a half barrel too, thats ok but need to make some steps up to it so the frogs & so on can get in & out safely, may just put a plank of wood by it with little bars across it, think it may work LOL.
Mine has got duck weed in it, it just appeared Grrr! keep scooping it out, I saw a little Robin on the Waterlily leaf having a bath the other day, I wish I had had my camera with me :o(( would have made a lovely picture :o)).
