Water Garden #2

Here's the new incarnation of our water garden. Last year, I created one for the first time. This year, I created a water garden using all different plants than last year. The four plants that I used this time are: Umbrella Palm - The tall plant with fronds that look like the spokes on an umbrella. Parrots Feather - The short plant on the top right that looks like a little bush. Marsh Marigold - Medium height plant in the top left with large, lily pad-like leaves. Water Poppy - The plant on the bottom right with the small round leaves. They're still submerged, but will emerge soon. I'm probably going to move the marsh marigold out of the water garden and into the pond or another water garden soon because it's a shade plant. Unfortunately, the water garden gets too much sun. I'll get it all figured out soon. That's the fun part. Friday, we're heading to Berkeley. Maybe I'll find a water plant while I'm there. Either way, it'll be fun.
