I can't think of a thing to add. The water plants look lovely and your new plantings showcase it so well. As Rose said, I would never want to go inside. I'd sit on the deck and drink my coffee and just enjoy! I love that tiger lily. And of course I know you are going to love those coneflowers. Next year you should have twice as many. Now, both of you pull up a chair and sit back and enjoy your creation!beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400859161321357279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731821301433751344.post-37234607367705997272008-07-21T20:34:00.000+01:002008-07-21T20:34:00.000+01:00Wow Cheryl.

We already have a couple of beetles swimming and diving around, then sitting on the stones in the sun. It is lovely to watch them. I am hoping to teach the grandchildren about the insects that visit.
