Your pink geranium pairs well with the blue iris.<br /><br />That's a deal to find a Phlox divaricata in flower and marked down already.

The nursery I bought my tadpoles from said they were bullfrog tadpoles so they would probably hop off once they make the transformation (to bigger waters!) Your pond is such a nice size tho and so welcoming, yours will most likely hang out. :-)<br />I can't believe how many of our plants are at about the same place ~ especially when there was such a big difference in temperatures for so long. My canterbury bells are about to bloom too and my peony poppies look about like yours. Mother Nature must have a way of balancing everything out???<br /><br />Also, you're so sweet to link me about your pot! You must be talking about the one in the foreground with the licorice plant in it?? It looks great! I'm beaming with pride (not that you needed any help from me!)Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_kornernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-24173333672701162972010-06-03T15:47:52.646-07:002010-06-03T15:47:52.646-07:00Your pond is so lush and beautiful!

Until they develop or move on, I will have to put up with it's rather stagnant state. Hopefully, by the end of the summer holiday...<br /><br />The smaller pond is half empty. Something (cat, fox or crow) has punctured the liner. Unfortunately, the frogs seem to like that one even better than the larger one, so, once again, I have to wait :(Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357761230206692089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-91930187785635768742010-06-03T12:12:16.683-07:002010-06-03T12:12:16.683-07:00Catherine, first, congrats to your little grad!

I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad. :)<br />Your pond and garden are truly a place to behold! How wonderful to enjoy this space every day!! I've fought the urge to have a pond quite successfully thus far, but I feel I'm starting to lose the battle. Every time I see yours, I inch closer to creating a water garden.

All the plants are growing so lush and I am loving the placement of each one. We have had one rain in three weeks and wishing for more.

It made me think about my pond area, the pond is in place surrounded by piles of soil. I do hope the nice weather we've finaly got (I'm so tired of all this rain) stays during the weekend so that we're abel to finish the pondarea and the climbingframes for the Clematises in the raised bed. Non of us needs more rain right no - we want summer to arrive and stay!
