Let me know, when you know, we may have to do some trading next year.

Not to brag or anything...but another flower bud popped up yesterday.

What color is it? ~ jan

They are both still buds, so it is hard to tell. There appears to be some
purplish color showing through.

Absotootly. Since I have the OK, and the encouragement from the boss to do a
new Lotus only pond...I'll be happy to do some trading.

Our plan is too tear out herb garden out, and put all the herbs in pots and
set them around a bluestone patio. All different herbs, all different size
and looking pots. On one section, I plan to dig and line a hole, maybe 8
inches deep and FILL it with all different sized river rock. The bluestone
will overlap the edge of the hole, giving it a semi-formal look. Then
sitting in the rock pool, 2-3 huge pots with the lotus in the pots. I plan
to then pump water up from the rock pit, into the lotus pots and let it
cascade down back into the pond. Should make for lots of noise, nice
interest with just a few inches of water over lots of river rock. The large
pots will fit in nicely with the look we're going for in the herb garden, so
the exposed pots will look nice, I think.

Oh Gosh... You gotta get a camera and take a picture!
Please? We especially need a picture of the blossom!

I'll do it as soon as I can. I Just got back from camping, and I head out
on
another trip Thursday...

Can't wait for pictures of that either. ) ~ jan

Right now, my contract is over in a week or so, so I will be unemployed. Two
pallets of slate, and another pond are on hold for now. But I hope by next
spring.
