You had me scared there for a minute Joe. I went to look at your pond pix
and thought that was blue water at the front of your pond, until I read the
caption Sure looks nice!

Don't supposed you could mail some of the Hyacinths to NC could ya? (They
probably wouldn't survive anyway)

Your pond development is amazing! I love the bridge addition!

Sigh, now I'm looking at our new pond, and thinking, Hmm.. I could always
add.......

I'd love some, but am just too far away (Hamilton, Ontario!). However, I
did want to complement you on your pond. It is gorgeous & has obviously
been a labour of love for you. Enjoy it!

Wow your outdoor "room" is awesome! Even the wintertime brings beauty with it.
I love the silence..... Thankyou for sharing your diary of pictures...

I sent some from California to several places out east and I think they
arrived mostly intact.

Gareee,

I'm in Waynesville. If you are familar with the are at ALL, we have a whole
lots of mountains, streams, and not a whole lot else. I was on the hunt for
Barley balls a few weeks ago, and never found anything locally (as far as
Asheville even) at all. Still haven;t check at Petsmart though, which was
recommended here.

The only source at all for any pond plants, is the preboxed ones at Wal-mart
(we got two plants a few weeks ago, and they seem to be growing well) I know
everyone recommends a ton of plants for a biofilter, but short of yanking
stuff from a local REAL pond, I'm at a loss there.

I did find peace lillies at the local Lowe's, but they are $5 a pop. I got 3
of them, and all seem to be doing well. My pond though, is about 12-13 feet
square, so it's plants now are a drop in the bucket.
