Hi all. Had a busy summer. Not much summer-like weather upstate NY
though...

I took this photo two weeks ago. My pond plants have been growing like
crazy (must be the food spikes I have been using) and flowering too. The
ground covers are looking much better over the rocks now.

Dot's niiice, Denise!

And you're right; not much of a summer in the hills west of Albany, though
a new lotus (the only one of several that "took") has already put up a
couple of nice blossoms. Go figure.

Has anybody here tried wild rice? I've got a few plants, bought from a
nursery in Massachusetts, that are blooming. I'm guessing that the seed is
meant to fall in the water and overwinter.

But I digress. As usual.

Peace,

Pretty pond.

Gary, I haven't tried wild rice and I asked some of my friends with
ponds if they have any growing. Nope, but here's a website I found that
maybe you will find interesting:
