We recently had to clear our garden pond from
weed and a giant water lily that had taken over. This is half of the plants, muck and detritus excavated:
This is George, who sits on the back doorstep smelling the flowers:
He doesn't eat much so is easy and cheap to keep, but he is a bit grubby!

These are 'specially for Carver,
as promised to her last week:
Hypericum calycinum, known in the UK as the Rose of Sharon. It is also called St John's Wort which is used as a homeopathic remedy for mild depression and problems with the circulatory system & nervous system.
The one on the left is a low growing, spreading shrub which does well in the sunny side of my garden, whilst the one on the right belongs to my neighbour but is climbing up a chain link fence, in the shade, so I luckily get the benefit of its lovely flowers.
