Love your pics. And all that spider lilly! Never seen or heard of that
plant before. Do they grow in the pond?

And the Marylin Monroe rose! Excellent!

How does the puddle relate to your pond and stream?

The spider lily is a spring blooming native that does well in a bog although
having the bulb under a few inches of water works as well.

The 'puddle' was the 'starter model' put in the year before the 4000 gal
pond. They aren't connected.

Pix don't show it, but the stream runs about 60 feet through an overgrown
area with three right angles and a few small pools. The pump outputs into a
200 gallon settling pool and then snakes through iris and four o'clocks
under a big mimosa tree. It's all very pretty, but the plants have filled
in so much that the stream is mainly there for sound effects (and veggie
filtration).
