Man wins over beast!
Hi..
First rule of Porg.. we don't talk about Porg! Porg: Justin's 36b.. [...you WILL be Pond-Elated!...] You WILL be assimilated! You're no Borg, the real Borg are used to speak a technical but monotone German. Saw them many times on TV - I swear..! ;-) -- cu Marco |

Parrot's Feather
Ok, this stuff is supposed to grow fast.. so if I take a clipping off it,
and toss it in a large tub, it'll still grow? Thinking of growing a few more offshoots... -- Gareee (Gary Tabar Jr.) |

Parrot's Feather
Here's one thing I found:
"Parrot's Feather has feathery blue-green foliage with a velvety sheen that creeps across surface of pond. Its stems can grow from 20 to 60 inches long, and are divided into four to six vivid green segments. Parrot's Feather's lushly textured foliage helps provide shade for the pond and fish. It also provides a hiding place and spawning material for the pond inhabitants. Because of its capability of establishing itself in wet soil above the water, Parrot's Feather can be used in waterfall crevices, as well as along pond edges. Although it may be prone to frost damage, it winters well beneath the ice in frozen ponds. Zones 4-11." Gareee (Gary Tabar Jr.) |

Parrot's Feather
Hi..
that stuff wont grow for me. I'm so sorry! It's one of my favourite indoor and outdoor plants.. ;-) but I think one end likes to be tucked into a bit of dirt. Yeah.., it's like several other bog plants able to be kept inside respectively outside (the) water.. -- cu Marco, original bog plant supporter.. |

Grows better in winter for me. I've a few sprigs in the shade that seem to be taking off and one that rooted in a pot with another plant, but when it is growing well every small shoot grows, floating or stuck in dirt. It doesn't have to be on top to grow. It will grow to the top on its own if potted and sunk below the waterline. Regards, Hal Zone 8 Middle Georgia |

Hi..

I hope he didn't steal my lines and pass them off as his own: Hmm.., typed porg and rec ponds into my browser's search interface and got: http://www.geocities.com/justinm090/faq.html#36 36b is about the Porg but it's not listed in the linked table of content so please scroll and scroll and scroll down - or click link 36 (36b will follow directly).. BTW: a 36b without a 36a - I'm shocked..! ;-) -- cu Marco |

How did he get in your pond and now that you have sent him to a "better place", how could another of his kind get into your pond? You must have a connection to some waterway or inlet. Deb :-) |

One of these days we should update and repost. Ok - here is a "Bob" question. How did he get in your pond and now that you have sent him to a "better place", how could another of his kind get into your pond? You must have a connection to some waterway or inlet. You think? Even frogs can travel great distances on land (Leopard Frogs are often called "Meadow Frogs" and are found 2km or more from water), so I don't think it's improbable that Bob just travelled overland. -- derek - Unless otherwise noted, I speak for myself, not rec.ponds.moderated moderators. |

You must have a connection to some waterway or inlet. Deb :-) There's a slight stream running around my home, (And with the drought it's all but dried up!), and another could easily revisit us. A house away is a mountain stream that flows regularly, and the water is always very chilly. (natural water tempos here are usually 45-60 tops) I'd think that would discourage reptiles, but who knows? If another visits, he'll eventually be captured and relocated as well. The last time we had water snakes was like 2 years ago, so it's not a regularly often thing. But for now, fry and small frogs are safe, and more importantly, my wife isn't bitching at me about it.. LOL! (Neither one of us likes snakes at all, and we are always concerned about our cats playing with them fearlessly) -- Gareee (Gary Tabar Jr.) |
