Water Hyacinth (Part 2)

Water Hyacinth (Part 2)
Well by God, just don't let Dr. Solo know your allowing birds to drink out of a all too holy pond or the world may fall apart. After all who wants fish swimming in bird shit.

FWIW, the WH seem to be thriving just fine. The new leaves they've put
out since I've had them appear to be the normal "stubby" growth I'm used to. I think everythin's gonna be fine out there... --Bryan If you're seeing growth, I 2nd the everythin's gonna be fine. ;o) ~ jan ----------------- (Do you know where your water quality is?)
