Hi - some interesting pictures of plants growing in a stream of a koi pond -

A few years ago



Today - Feb 2010





For those interested I have often been called a pirate because I have a sunken chest .....

Stunning chris, really stunning. Do the plants grow in the stream? What is the stream made off? Do you have lots of water loss? Really, looks nice.
