Submersible LED pond lights can be a great addition to your water garden set up! A dirt cheap replacement pump for my bamboo Zen fountain included a little RGB submersible ring light for a color changing glow. Awesome!🪷🌈💡
We've all seen them, out there in the lake or pond. 'Common' plain white water lilies. Why would anyone want to have them sitting around in a bucket on their patio? How ordinary!🫤🤣🪷🧸
“Optimal Growing Conditions” are easier to achieve with container gardening! Too much sun? Move it into the shade. In this case, young water lilies trying to get established get a tub water garden swap for a shallower, optimal growing depth - and a more established waterlily gets a little more breathing room for it’s lily pads!👍😎
Mini-Pond 'Hoardiculture' For Apartment Dwellers
An in-ground pond isn't possible for most apartment and condo dwellers. Container water gardening is a viable alternative for patios, balconies, or backyards. A single tub garden can become the focal point of your outdoor space - Or, you can get totally out of control like The Waterlily Bear and build two dozen tub water gardens!🪷🧸🪷
Pond Plant binge-buying is A Thing. This is what happens when you have ponds. I figure I will just deal with them when they arrive….🫤
Until the white water lilies start blooming in my patio tub water gardens - I guess these are the closest alternative here in the desert. 🪷😎🪷
*THIS* is why I did not buy that absolutely beautiful $34.95 Chocolate Veil-Tail Oranda goldfish at PetsMart!!!
My neighborhood hummingbirds aren’t the least bit interested in my waterlily blossoms - But they love all the tiny flies and gnats! They need the protein. The rest of you can feed them all nothing but sterile sugar water.🤣🤣🤣
5 years ago I just had one mini-pond at the center of my patio... But then at the garden center they had these 'Waterlily-In-A-Box' that came with a tuber and a pickerel or water iris plant packed in peatmoss for $10. So I bought another big resin flower pot to grow that in... Now look where I ended up!!!😱🤨😎
Such a short lived blossom! On Day 2, the falls already started to wilt and curl, so I'm glad I captured this on opening day!🫤 There's two more buds yet to open - but I think we all wish iris flowers would last for weeks on end.😜
Iris Versicolor - The northern Blue Flag water iris about to flower in its third year after receiving very tiny, very expensive seedlings in 1 inch nursery pots...🤨
