I had the opportunity to visit Fernlady and her husband yesterday, and they are a wonderful couple. Marie's ponds and yard are just overwhelmingly beautiful. She not only has a green thumb but also has a "wet" thumb, because her lilies were blooming everywhere. She has had several years experience in ponding, and is a walking source of knowledge and facts. We enjoyed talking about her new plants that she had just acquired, as well as the plants she has had for many years.
For those who are new here, there are many knowledgable people on the forum you can learn from, and Fernlady is one of them.
