I think both are appropriate Jerry.
That pond is really taking on the lush, tropical look.
Any secrets you want to share?

Cheers,

Mike

Looks great my friend

Mine is bare but has just been set back up this week after sitting disassembled in the center of the deck waiting a month and a half to be painted.
I will fertilize the lilies before I leave for LA this weekend and hope for a few blooms when I return.

Cheers,
Sean

It looks cool...as in luch and confortable

My "secret" and it is hardly a secret is Osmocoat! It was a tip given to me by a member.
No burnt looking leaves this year, so it must be the way to go. It feeds nice and S L O W !

I'd say "Woo Hoo!", but I think it means the same thing.

Whatever it is behind your Lotus (Taro? Collocasia? Allocasia?) looks fantastic, especially as a background plant.

Gotta love that Osmocote.

Osomocote works well. Your pond is looking very nice Jerry and that's a very good photo. It looks so inviting.

Looks great...there's been no "June gloom" this year.

Yes, that is a big elephant ear. I prefer the variety with the leathery leaves. I find that plants close to the pond do exceptionally well, It has to be that nice humidity.

Wow, it looks like a tropical jungle.

Are those banana trees over on the left?

UMMMMMMMMMM, how about SHA ZAM ? Very tropical...and pretty

Jerry · « **Reply #13 on:** June 23, 2007, 07:15:43 AM »

I loved Capt. Marvel as a kid, so Shazam works!
Yes banana trees.

Nice shot Jerry! The pond looks great with all that lush foliage.

Beautiful picture. The lotus leaves look so graceful. Mine are burnt and crispy.

Sorry about "Taken Just now" it was true then, but time goes on!

Thanks all.

The lotus looks so happy! I still dont thinik I have the oscomite down right. I have some tubs that arent growing good and some that took off really quick but have the burned leaves again

Looks great Jerry!

Jerry · « **Reply #19 on:** June 25, 2007, 06:46:27 AM »

Mine were crispy in the past. I am not certain what good luck has befallen them. Must be Osmocoat!.
