Nice one mort. How deep in the water have you gone. The top pond looks bare so i thought i would put something that splays a little. My rushes i put in last year and Lilly's are all shooting up nicely. But don t splay and spread enough. you ok mort.good to hear from you mateI've got it as well Fred and grow it in my pond. It supposedly needs winter protection from frost (I used to with mine but haven't bothered recently and its still going strong) or at the least shouldn't be allowed to freeze but guessing you don't get ice on the pond. It also takes years to get massive, growing bigger every year. I get leaves a few feet across now.

Marcel, whats the large bent drainpipe in the bathtub for?
Cheers for that info mort. Yeah mate i googled. And exactly mate.crown above water.got my other one in now. Once i know there growing i will put lots more gravel in large baskets. And replant. Cheers mort. Glad your well mate. I was wondering about marceles pipe. You beat me to it.I'm good thanks Fred. I was worried a little when I saw your first picture of it mostly submerged but then spotted the second with it on a brick and that looks good. These aren't strictly pond plants, they like wet/moist soil and live in damp areas like other bog plants. They can however do very well if the crown of the plant is kept above the water and only the roots allowed to grow into the water, so your last picture looks perfect. I must admit though it might soon outgrow that pot and grow around it.
This project is taking on epic proportions and entering in to the realms of legend...looking great
Really loving seeing things take shape. I have to have a yearly project to tinker with as well.
Can I ask about the Schizostylis coccinea, from your picture it looks like you have it planted pretty deep. I have one in my wildlife pond that desperately needs splitting and wondered if you had it grown it deep like this before, as mine has its roots submerged with the foliage completely above the water, and I may add it to a deeper part as well if your experience suggests it will be ok?
