| My Water Garden and Fish Pictures |
| This plant is called Parrot's Feather (Myriophyllum Aquatica) It is another marginal type. It has very nice feathery green leaves that are showy both above and below water. This is a "youngin" and will spread soon. |
| These are Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia Crassipes) They are another type of floating plant. They multiply like crazy! If you live in a warmer climate, please ensure that you don't introduce them into the wild as they can be very problematic! |
| I just love ornamental grasses. This is a Varigated Ribbon Grass (Phalaris Arund. Picta). This plant is a marginal. It will grow to 2' or more. I have other ornamental grasses planted behind the waterfall that will grow to 4' tall. These grasses, the Iris and other plants should frame the pond nicely! |

| These plants pictured here are Bog Arum (Calla Palustris) and Water Lettuce (Pistia Stratiotes) The Bog Arum is potted and is a "marginal plant" which means it needs to be shallow and not totally submerged. |
| The water lettuce is a floating plant. Their roots dangle in the water and help to clean it of the impurities. The fish like to hide in them. |

| This plant is a Dwarf Umbrella Palm (Cyperus Alternifolia). It is not hardy in New England. This will become a houseplant during the winter. Note the gravel on the tops of plants. This keeps the frogs, toads and fish from rooting them. |
