Water Lotus and Lotus Seed Pod

Here is an update on the Water Lotus growing in my ornamental water-garden in Huntsville Alabama. This is an August 2010 picture showing the Lotus seed pods as they begin to dry. The Lotus was purchased at Across the Pond this year. The seed pods make a beautiful dried arrangement when placed in a clear vase.

Pond Area Guard Dog

Here is a picture of Powder, our cocker spaniel. Here you see Powder laying in the winter rye grass in a green-space near the water garden.

Garden Bench and Iron Fence

In the picture above (click the image to enlarge) you see the sitting area next to the ornamental water garden. Although the water garden is not shown, the pond is only about four feet from the pictured iron fence. The garden bench and table were homegrown weekend projects of building forms and mixing and pouring the concrete.
