While on my brief travels in the states I visited the horticultural glasshouses in golden gate park. I managed to take a couple of what I though were OK snaps of the indoor pond that they had in one the largest conservatories. They had a wide selection of water lilies so I figured I would post them in the cold water pond section. Granted they did not keep fish in the pond as the staff classified them as “too messy†and interfered with the meticulous “fertilization†regime they employed to get the maximum out of the aquatic plants. I would have liked to bring in a couple of goldfish or Koi in a Wellington boot and poured them in. Anyways, about the water lilies! I didn’t get any of their Latin names but I think they look spectacular and just shows what can be done with a pond with a bit of time, research and money “ to pay for a massive heated Victorian conservatoryâ€. Hope you like the pics.
