Waterlilies in a Backyard Pond

    This year I have a waterlily flowering!  A tree over head has been cut back, so the pond is getting more light.  I'm hoping to have more flowers than this.  I have two pots that I leave in the pond over the winter.  They have gotten so big that they are now growing into the dirt at the bottom of the pond.



    My pond is surrounded by yellow and red sedums along with purple flowering lamium.  The waterlily pads are standing tall this year.

    Our new pond resident.  He actually let me take 4 or 5 pictures without getting upset.  He takes a flying leap into the pond when the lawnmower gets close!

                                    I love to see them close up when the sun starts to go down.
