Aquatic and Terrestrial Plant Exchange / If you never had/grown a tropical lily read this!

« on: June 01, 2008, 04:33:10 PM »

I remember well my first tropical lily years ago.  You would not have believed how excited I was by the first bloom!  It was a Panama Pacific and it was gorgeous!

Well I have 2 small tropical lilies I'll send for postage to someone who's never had and would like to try one.  I just re-potted my Albert Greenburg and got a small start off the parent plant.  I also have a small start that i think is a un named blue lily or it might be a night bloomer. 

To recap they are really small, but with all the good info and tutorials here, you ought to be able to grow a beautiful lily or 2.

Free for postage.

I have many trapdoor snails in my pond.  They are live bearing, so the won't over populate.  They eat dead matter.  Never had a problem w/my plants.  I really like them!

Beware, ponding is very addicting!  You'll want another pond, then a bigger pond, then an even bigger pond.  And wait til you get to the water lilies!  There are so many beautiful ones.     You can NEVER have enough.

Welcome!

Thanks everyone for showing your photos.  I've been wanting a couple of above the ground ponds but haven't gotten hubby that interested.  I showed him the pictures and he really liked 'em so maybe I'll get 1 or 2 this year!   Yipee!

You know, there are just some people who are not in their right minds.   

Good for you to take in that baby.  He's lucky to have you.

I belong to a kitty and a horse rescue.  Right now I have 4 feral kittens I'm taming so that they can be adopted and 2 horses I'm fostering.  I spent almost 20years working in an animal shelter and have seen everything.

I thank God everyday for foster families!

Hi Patricia,
The lotus seeds are the native one, yellow.  I have lots of the Bacopa, it's hardy only to zone 8.  I'd love to trade for Iris or I'll do postage.  What ever you want.  Brenda

Aquatic and Terrestrial Plant Exchange / Have Lemon Bacopa and native lotus seeds for trade or postage.

« on: April 13, 2008, 12:01:35 PM »

Have tons and tons of native lotus seeds and my 1 acre mud pond is completely surrounded w/Lemon Bacopa.

Interested in any land or pond plants I don't have.  Tempt me!   

Will also send for postage!

I have pictures of my Lemon bacopa but not sure how to post them here.  If you want, I can send thru email.

I love this plant!   Pretty little blue flowers all summer long.  You can put this is a pond,or in between rocks of a waterfall.  Spreads by underground runners.  The plant has a lemony smell.

Ky Kim, those fish are gorgeous.  I love butterfly koi.

MCP, I fell the same way.  I have several ponds, all devoted to plants not fish.  I may just have to change one of them.

Pond Chat / Re: Pacific Treefrog

« on: April 03, 2008, 09:20:28 AM »

Cute lil guy!  I love tree frogs.  We're lucky here, we have both the grey and green tree frogs!

On year we left the cover off our above the ground swimming pool so when spring came and we were ready to clean it out, it was FULL of Tadpoles.  Of course we couldn't clean it then and waited for the frogs.  When the babies still had a little bit of a tail, they would sit on the rim of the pool at night.  there were hundreds!  And they were all tree frog babies!  It was great!

Sometimes I wished we'd kept that swimming pool up just for the frogs.

I use to be a member of the old board.  Some of you may remember me.  When the old board shut down, I didn't know where everyone went.  I've been reading the posts and glad to see you guys again.

I'm 51 years old and live in Nacogdoches, Tx.  In the middle of the pineywoods!  I'm still ponding and gardening and have lots and lots of work to do to the ponds this spring.

I have several garden ponds and a 1 acre earthern pond.  I love trading have have a lots of lemon bacopa, yellow eyed grass, swamp coneflower, blue eyed grass, lizard's tail, hyacinths, lettuce, coontail, parrots feather, frog's bit, swamp hibiscus and more.  Also Albert greenburg, unknown blue tropical, unmarked night blooming lily and several hardies.

Glad I found this board!
