Default Ponds & Spring Arriving

Lo and behold some of the day lilies and cannas sprouted
underwater, and are still surviving today even though the water has
receded. (I mostly planted day lilies, cannas, iris, elephant ears and
stuff. I'd planted some last year and the deer didn't eat them and they
seemed to thrive even with my neglect.)

====================
I've not had luck trying to grow daylilies in wet soil. They seem to like
damp soil with good drainage. Water iris will thrive in your pond
environment and come in several nice colors. Please keep me informed in how
these plants do for you over the summer.
