      Mentha Aquatica is Water Mint Nick, smells nice & has bluish/purplish flowers:dbgrtmb:

      Has your camera got a memory card? You can pop that straight in the side of most laptops & download straight to your pics album.

          You're a man of talent, Nick, give the pond a couple of years and the plants will look as though they've grown there naturally.:thumbsup::snork:

                    It looks nice nick! The bricks are fine to set your plants on. You can lower the plants as well so the baskets don't show so much. How deep is it?? In inches.......? You could put a dwarf water lily in there too!!

                          I've got a set of these lights. They're solar and look really nice by the pond. They are about £24 at Costco. yhst-25026771301149_2214_468714.jpeg
