Pond Progress

Here's a photo of the waterfall when we moved in:

and here's a garden I started on the side of the pond...it goes all the way around now and I just transplanted a japanese maple by the waterfall...I'll take more photos tonight:

My first water lily bloom...not sure what it's called but it's such a pretty bright pink  ...I only had maybe 3 blooms total this summer though:

This is after a cleaning and the waterfall was re-stacked:

It was so clean and clear but now it has some good algae growth:

Welcome to A.P!  The pond looks great, and I like the flat stone falls.  Is water hyacinth legal in Maryland?  You said the garden goes all the way around the pond... can you access the pond to do maintenance?

[newpondgal]

Yes, WH are legal in MD.  The garden actually goes around 3/4 of the pond.  We have grass where the skimmer is for easy access.
