Yes, we do miss changes when we look at the garden spots everyday. I like photos as a sort of a photo journal of my garden.

You're absolutely right about the water lily leaves - I hadn't really thought about them being a sign of autumn before. Mine are doing exactly the same.<br />I was also fascinated to read on one of your earlier pond posts about water hawthorn flowering earlier and later than the lilies. I'm definitely going to try it out next year to extend the season of interest - thank you!Victoria Summerleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055381807236106596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-30614421640788462012009-09-18T16:31:14.917-07:002009-09-18T16:31:14.917-07:00I have enjoyed watching the changes to your pond. ...I have enjoyed watching the changes to your pond. Now that is what a Fuchsia is suppose to look like ;-) It does look so pretty hanging over your pond. I bet you hate to see the waterlilies go. <br />Does your pond freeze in the winter or is it deep?

Isn't it a great plant? I've been doing water bowls too. They can be quite eye catching as your Acorus is. I too am enjoying the slant of the sun and how it casts a softer glow upon the garden.

It was given away at one of my PPS meetings and I tell you it is great. It keeps water in the pot real well, but if it dries out it is not stressed and waits for me to fill it up. I love it so much.
