Water plants in upper pond in june
Any plant people out there can identify what I've got here?
Something ate quite a bit on these, though the tops are good now. I think it was Japanese beetles that subsequently got eaten by birds. Appears to be a flower forming.
Planted Rose Mallow this spring and here in the fall they are still going strong, down in the lower right corner of the image. Some made flowers and seed heads. Quite a bit of competition, and something does like to dine on the leaves, but does leave some leaf structure, doesn't destroy.
Another tree into the pond, fall 2014.
More firewood... No, used it for log pile berm in kitchen garden
This is just a bit less than high water for this pond. At this point in early April, it's just little stuff greening and flowering.
I had planted bare root seedlings from the Missouri state nursery here last year. It would appear the seeds have been dispersed.

The water level is finally going down a bit. Normally by this time in August, it's almost dry. The Rose Mallow were planted last year, and both the one on the other side (which is done flowering now) and this side survivied. Intersting how the Rose Mallow flower faces toward the water. The sun set a while ago, but off to the left. However, I think there might have been more light in the direction the flower is facing, lot of dense shade where the sun actually set. Somebody has chowed down on the lower leaves, but the plants seem fine.

Southwest corner of upper pond. Summer water covers many of these.
The rose mallow I planted in 2014. Some are growing straight, but most of these are seeking the light as the days grow shorter and the shade in this area builds faster.

Need to wade out and see how deep it is. This is about as low as I've seen it since the trees and bushes have grown up around it.
