Lotus Pond in Bloom - 2004
Here are a couple of pictures of blossoms, buds and Leaves on the lotus pond. No division of plants has been done since 1999. I think the pond is overgrown with lotus! Nedra Lotus Pond: http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 |

Now that's an idea, Kathy. How deep is the frog bog?
I'd go for it. Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "Ka30P" wrote in message ... Very gorgeous! Wondering if the frog bog would like to go the way of lotus?..... kathy :-) algae primer http://hometown.aol.com/ka30p/myhomepage/garden.html |

The frog bog is about 10 inches deep. It was covered with river rock (not sure why I did that...) I've been having the boys weed it out every fall, then it's a race in the spring to see which plant can overgrow it in the summer. This year pennywort and lizard's tail are doing a great job. I've tried to start seeds of lotus in there, no go but maybe plants will have a better time of it. Just a matter of luck and karma since the labradors like to wade around in it. You have to be tough to live in the frog bog. kathy :-) algae primer http://hometown.aol.com/ka30p/myhomepage/garden.html |

It is deep enough. Now to get around the other specifics ... lol Aye
there's the rub. I'd start with growing plants ... I know they are expensive but I'll bet they would take off. Now, the watergardening labradors are a different story. Wonder if you could keep them away if you encircled the plants in a meshy sort of enclosure .... I don't where I'm headed with this suggestion ? Thanks for the compliment, Bonnie!

If the plants could get a start in the spring they'd be ahead of the dogs who
don't want to get their paws wet until it's nice and hot so it might work! kathy :-) algae primer http://hometown.aol.com/ka30p/myhomepage/garden.html |

Opps ... completely forgot about watergardeners not liking the colder water,
etc. If you have a choice in the which of the lotuses to buy... I vote for Mrs. Perry D. Slocum. It is very hardy, easy to grow, and sooo fragrant.

Yeeeaaahh boy, and the SO helped dig this one. Anyway, when I am done with that I am going to dig the lotus garden. I gotta have what Nedra has. BV. |

You certainly shall have a lotus garden, BV. I really like your word,
'garden'. Mind if I copy it? And Thank you for the lovely compliment.

Thanks a bunch for the compliment, chipper. The lotus garden is separate
from the fish pond. Do you have room to sink a bit of liner and maybe stick a growing lotus in it? It really doesn't take a bunch of room to have a lotus garden ..... I just got greedy and wanted a big garden. Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "Chipper" wrote in message . com...
