Free: Umbrella plants, for bog or water garden
I neighbor pulled out his pond and these plants were in it, WAY to many for
me alone and my small ponds. If interested write back to or give me a call at 845-2819, I have enough for several new homes. See them at http://plantsdatabase.com/go/2532/ |

We could have used those at the "plant swap" at the Austin Pond Society meeting on Monday. Lots of pond plants were there for people to trade or take for free. Why not come to a meeting if you have not? We are a fun bunch and have good lectures on pond construction and pond issues as well as social events. The swap was held in the LCRA parking lot at the building across from Mozarts on the lake. We meet every 3rd Monday at the LCRA building meeting room off Lake Austin Blvd. http://www.austinpondsociety.org/aps.htm There will be our awesome annual pond tour on July 17-18th. ~40 ponds to visit in 2 days time for $10. (ticket is for both days) Maps will be provided for a North tour on one day and South tour on the next day. This event is not to be believed! I went for the first time last year and I was blown away by the incredible, sometimes huge ponds, with Koi fish and water lilies as well as the landscaping around the ponds. This is one of those Austin events that make this an amazing city of diversity and enjoyment. Don't miss it! I'll post a reminder later on nearer the date. I'll try to get back to this group again and post events beforehand so you can take advantage of one of Austin's best and biggest gardening clubs -- water gardening. Sorry I have been away so long.

Hi Gae. Houston has started to kick in public education regarding
"bioretention" via "rain gardens". There are conferences, seminars and workshops. I got my city, Bellaire, to adopt the concept of "rain gardens" into its FEMA flood quideline proposal. (they're after the points that the CRS gives cities to lower the flood insurance rates to homeowners) I am out there campaigning right and left with this. What is interesting is that the prairie before it was bulldozed had "mimas", pimple mounds and "prairie potholes", prairie retention basins on it. Thats why when you saw Connestoga's rolling through the tall grass prairie, they were bumping all around from the uneven ground (buffalo hooves contributed, too). Anyway, just a heads up on this. If bog plants become hard to find, this could be a reason why. I have some great links, http://www.celestialhabitats.com, about cities built around this concept that have high sales prices and property values (Somerset for one, Prince George for two) on homes.
