    Looking forward to more pics as it progresses - agree wholeheartedly with Steve - the shape is really nice and flowing! Looks like hubby has done a nice job of the bricks too - will have to show those to hubby so he can see how I really want the bricks to look around garden beds!

    Looks fantastic! Well done

    I've got some grasses alongside my pond, which include:

    Miscanthus sinensis Zebrinus
    [​IMG]

    Molinia Caerulea "Transparent" - bit hard to find an image that captures its "transparent"-ness!
    [​IMG]

    and Panicum Virgatum Rubrum which turns a nice red by late Summer, and last well into the Winter
