Happy New Year to you too. I will try and take some pics of the ponds in the next few days to share with those of you in the cold. We have been warmer than usual this last week, it's been over 90°f every day but it does drop to the low 70°s at night.
I took this pic a couple days ago, it is Wood's Blue Goddess. I need to get in the pond and fertilize and probably repot some of the lilies but I hurt my knee so it won't happen soon. The problem with all year ponding is that there is no set time to do these chores and I forget until the flowers get small. The water is colder at this time of year and there are a few less hours of sunshine, mostly the angle of the sun changes and my pond is shaded more of the day. Because of this there are fewer blooms and they are smaller.
