HI John. You have a lovely garden and waterfeature as the centre piece. I'm just curious why the netting over the koi pond? Is it to keep the neighbor's cat out?
Either the cats or the Herons. It could also be just to stop leaves falling in the pond. If we ever have a propper pond, we will have to net it and put a fence up!HI John.

Wow that's a stunning display Richard. Very good way of displaying, but must take some time to water and general upkeep.Hi John, I hope you don't mind me plonking some images of SWMBO's handy work in her garden the size of a postage stamp. Incredible how she can pack so much in...reminds me of my stash collection.

She's been mail ordering quite a lot of exotic plants lately...perhaps I should keep up with her...stash wise, ahem.

She's proud of her miniature banana plant.

Now you know why I make a quick escape when she starts gardening...sometimes into the night with her bright lamp on.
Hope you find some familiar plants.
Cheers,
Richard
Thank you Hong, kind of you to comment.HI John. You have a lovely garden and waterfeature as the centre piece. I'm just curious why the netting over the koi pond? Is it to keep the neighbor's cat out?
Ian it's to keep the Heron away.Either the cats or the Herons. It could also be just to stop leaves falling in the pond. If we ever have a propper pond, we will have to net it and put a fence up!
Ducks, geese, heron, seagulls, swans... you name it we get them. The joy of living in the country by the coast! Oh we also have the odd feral mink here and there...
Hopefully John is only pestered by cats, well his fish that is.
Each flower is 2inches in diameter John. It's actually 5 blooms.Stunning Wabble , a pity as your good lady says that the blooms only last a few days. Looks very much like an Iris flower in parts. How big are they ?
