Default Small pond question...

...
What about water lillys & other flowery plants? also is there any bog
plants that would do well?


Forget water lilies. They may not even survive no less bloom without at
least 4 to 5 hours of sun. Have you Googled "shade pond/bog plants?"
Shade loving bog plants like bluebells want damp soil, not total root
submersion. Anything else worth growing needs at least a few hours of good
sun - to my knowledge. But even bluebells like dappled sunlight, not total
shade.
