Lisa, I really enjoyed reading your post, what a wealth of information. You are amazing and when do you find the time?
At 2:54pm on September 2, 2011, Shirley Bovshow said…

Appreciate it Lisa. You can use some photos too and drop a couple of links in the post back to your website.

 

If you happen to like a particular plant brand variety, please mention is as we like to share that kind of information here so people can find specific plants!

 

Knowing me, I may edit the piece to "look" a certain way. Nothing personal.

Take your time. I look forward to reading your post, learning and sharing it.

Shirley

Yes! If you want to share it here, I will promote it on Twiter and Facebook!
At 12:14pm on September 2, 2011, Shirley Bovshow said…

No rush. I'll keep my eyes open. I'm sure others here are interested in plant varieties that work well in water.

 

At 11:49am on September 2, 2011, Shirley Bovshow said…

You are amazing. Thanks.  I've planted many cannas but never in water. May use 1 as focal point. Acorus is nice too. Will check out the others.

 

At 11:36am on September 2, 2011, Shirley Bovshow said…

Thanks Lisa. I will look these up, haven't used them before.

What is ur experience with Canna's? I love the foliage and there are some compact varieties.

At 9:55am on September 2, 2011, Shirley Bovshow said…

Hey Lisa,

I'd like your professional advice. In your experience, what variety of iris is lower growing variety?

The irises in our pond have grown to over 6 feet during the past 3 years and now, all you see is the plant and no stream or pond! We can't see our Koi and they've taken over.

 

The pond is roughly 15 feet wide and 8 or 9 feet deep about 1200 gallons.

We are zone 10 in USDA and zone 18 Sunset.'

 

Any favorite varieties?

Shirley
