| I'm thinking about putting in a stock tank pond, and since I have very little designing sense, I'd like some ideas for placement of plants around the pond. Can those of you who have ponds share your pics? Thanks!

| I don't know if this is helpful, but here are a couple of pictures. I have tried to find plants that will grow over the rocks that surround the pond, to give it a softer, more natural look. For example, I have several types of geraniums and sedums tucked in the rocks. I also used daylilies, because their foliage cascades over the rocks. I have water iris in the rocks where their roots reach down into the water and minature cattails. Although many people would suggest that you stay away from chameleon plants because of its invasive nature. I have it growing around our upper pond and think it is quite pretty.

| This is my front yard water feature. Last summer. The Chamaecyparis by the front door is now gone. DH fell on it and broke it putting up the Christmas lights. There are four ponds will no filters nor fish. I do have a fish pond in the backyard.
