That, Jan, is the Alaskan False Cypress (Pendula) ... it has
grown so very tall and is hanging over the pond so much
I'm surprised I don't have trouble with it. So far so good!
It's been there since I put the pond in ... 8 or 9 years ago.

Jan... You have proved my point - that knowing anything
about lotus guarantees their success!! I know less than
any one I know about what constitues success for plant
growing and blooming. This dismal spring I thought my
entire lotus pond was Dead! The last week of April the pond
guy came over; cleaned out the debris and fertilized the
lotuses.... you can see the result in the website below.
I dunno ...............

Wow. I want aerial leaves. ( But I'll settle for buds.
Question: what is the weepy tree to the right of the umbrella?
