Beautiful pictures.

It's hard to believe it is actually coming. How many days? From the snow on the ground around here, you wouldn't know it.

Hard to imagine, but wonderful pictures

Anticipation is a great thing.

You shouldn't have done that Joyce. I had changed my mind about starting a lily pond but umm now I gotta do it.

I sure hope its coming soon... but I wonder.. half heard today on the weather channel about a system.. not el nino but el something or other and when that happens historically we have very wet and cold march, aprils and may.. sure hope they are wrong!

Beautiful pictures as always joyce!

And this is what pushed me over the edge to get one done, Joyce's pictures, if I can only get it to look half as nice as her photos of lilies, lotus, I'll be thrilled. And don't get me started on container gardens, because she has me hook, line and sinker there now also.

Joyce, your photos are awesomely stupendous! Please continue to post them, they are my inspiration.

I am so wowed! I jsut love you Lotus pond. Can I see a pic of the whole pond looking like that?

Joyce · « **Reply #13 on:** March 02, 2007, 02:39:24 PM »

Thanks again everyone!
Debbie, yes, I think I have a few whole pond pix.
Lemmie look for them...BRB...

Hmmm...here's the view from my office window.

Here's the whole pond...

Thanks Joyce, That is awsome. So I have a 16x21' with about 12' cascading water falls. It goes to just shy 3' deep in the center. I have ordered the Momo Botan cuz I thought my pond would't be big enough for a full size one. What's your take on that? And how deep can they be set into the water?

Joyce · « **Reply #15 on:** March 03, 2007, 06:37:03 AM »

I don't believe in putting lotus deep at all.
All they need is a few inches over their crowns.

The lotus I have in the big pond is Mrs. Perry D. Slocum and it is a HUGE sized lotus,
so the deep water doesn't bother it at all.
Plus it is not potted, it is planted in the mud....filled up the pond in 2 years.

So keep yours potted, unless you want your pond to be all lotus in 2 years or less.

How nice to be able to look out the window at that every day. Stunning.

happyoutsidegirl · « **Reply #17 on:** March 03, 2007, 08:01:08 AM »

Ok, Thanks Joyce. I will build it a shelf or something to sit on in there.
