Pond Plantings


To help shad the pond, this summer I added a sensitive plant. It is growing like crazy! The kids enjoy the way the leaves fold up if you move it around.


One of my water lilies is blooming.


Just added this planting near the stream. It includes some irises, ladies mantle and a tall and creeping sedum.


The view from the other side of the stream shows off a bloody dock plant (looks a bit like a beet leaf) and the purple cast of the irises.

This is a Slender Hinoki False Cypress tree. It is small, but will eventually grow to about 15 feet tall and 4 feet wide. It has a beautiful texture and an interesting growth habit.
