We are just starting out. The pump has been running about a month now.
There are a number of plants - Water Iris, Water Hyacinth, Water Lettuce, and
Creeping Primrose in the pond. There are also 9 Koi and 2 Shubunkin.
We live in Willamette Valley of Oregon.
Here is a start of our ponds web page.

Hopefully we will be adding more to this page as we add and rework the pond
and flower beds.
