I was out taking photos of the iris in the gardens yesterday morning and had to take these photos of the Pond Garden.
Here's the lilac in full bloom - a Mother's Day gift from Sarah. Lilacs are the city flower of Harbin, China where Sarah was living in 2009 when she told me to buy myself one for Mother's Day.
I spotted the goldfish. Not as many as last year, but it's neat to see they survived the winter.
This water lily is getting bigger every year. I hope to see blooms again this year.
The water iris are not in full array yet but soon will be.
The Joe Pye weed is sprouting well.
This is a volunteer don't know if it's a seedling from the plant pictured below it.
The butterfly weed is doing well too.
There's my study window where I have a fine view of the Pond Garden.
How lovely to be able to sit by the window and admire your beautiful pond garden. It is wonderful. You must spend a lot of time weeding.

ReplyDeleteJust to answer your question on my post today regarding whether these are the last Elephants that I share. The answer is no but not for a while. I am giving myself a break and when resumming, I will be posting in the order that I was travelling around Malawi so I know the next olace has no Elephants nevertheless I am sure you will find it interesting. Each place we visited was different. When I reach South Africa, there will be more Elephants.
