Went to the pond shop and they seemed to have survived the pandemic lockdown ordeal... But as suspected they had very few plants for sale this year and 0 Lilies. Understandably they said, last year was a kick in the gut, first, let us sell something before we dive deeper into more dept. So I bought some and gave a nice tip!...
It ain't much this spring after last year's shock freeze a lot died off. But it's still early and the weather seems to improve quite rapidly. Finally!
What survived is the Watermint and in the sump the Marsh Fern and a plant I forgot its name from.
It's far-right and it will grow pink flowers similar to Pogostemon Erectus. The baskets are about empty and only contain a little surviving Gratiola and some sneak-ins, dunno yet.
At least my honeybunnies are happily outdoors again enjoying the view from the skybox.
And showing off again now and then.
This is the new and few additions, still young and small
l
For later colors
In the plywood tank, all died and as experiment what I actually always wanted to try. I placed the Potentilla palustris in the tank. To see how it looks behind glass when it develops its partially submerged wooden stems. It also still contains some surviving wool grass.
For the rest, there's nothing in there but this, taking a shower and growing a beard... Somehow he/she is very lazy, doesn't like to go, and at least already with me for 3 years now. It overwintered with the fish in the cellar.
Well not entirely true, there is more but yet too small to show... The goldfish spawned and always do this near the outlet and eggs ended up in the sump. Now there are a number of goldfish fry in the sump. And a few of them ended up via the pump in this tank. What is interesting I have a Fancy black pop eye goldfish in the tub. And I've seen it mingle at the party. I know it's a She, so it might be some of her eggs made it through and I wonder what shapes will become of here fry as a hybrid with rather normally formed goldfish. If it was a He, the changes would be better but never less it's going to be an interesting surprise. Half Fancy - But still Fancy enough? Still have loads of fry in the sump I'll take out when bigger.
Need to try another pond shop and see if I can get find me a small Nymphaea sp. I need a Lilly...
In another experiment I added a baby Willow tree, they don't mind wet feet it seems. Topped it off, so it might stay shorter and become bushier.
And the first flower of the year after the Cherry tree is this edible Herb... Don't know its official name... But we call it Union Pipes I guess you know what it is. It has a lovely flower. The darn thing is already for over years in that old iron Mortar.
