Beautiful plants and photos! Do you have a raised pond, or is it adjacent to a deck?

Gary, what are the little yellow flowers growing up between the pads in the second and third photo?
Happy ponding,

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

Hey Scott,

  The little yellow flowers [about 3/4"] are Water Stargrass. It's a native plant that grows rooted to the bottom. It can also grow as a bog plant. The flowers bloom all Summer if the plant is at the surface.

The Water Stargrass really does compliment the lilies and make the setting look very natural. How deep can they be set in the pond and still bloom.

   I've seen them in Lake Salvador in about five feet of water.

Thanks for the pics!

Cloudy days are slowing things down for me, but the one good thing about them is that it makes it easier for "simple" cameras like mine to do a better job of showing the actual colors of the blooms. The hue seems closer, but the saturation suffers.

Fabulous pond!  I like the lilies and the water stargrass together.   O0
