Hi Marie, and welcome to the org. We'd love to hear more about your nanas, and a fair number here are also into water gardening. Post some pics for us to appreciate.

I would love to have a water garden, but I live here in Hell and it would evaporate in a day or two. I will let you know when my pups become large enough to stand on their own. Right now, just recovering from the winter damage, so everything is puny. Thanks for offering!

Marie- gorgeous shot of your ponds/water gardens. You've done a beautiful job. Now, I can just see a nana or two pushing up near the sunny spots! My modest pond has pics in my Flickr site.
