      Yesterday, I got a couple aquariums set up in the greenhouse so I can start pond and bog plants from seed. I sowed my impatiens seed a week ago, still no word from them. Just ordered seed of these:

      WATER ARUM Water Dragon Wild Calla Palustris
      CLIMBING HYDRANGEA Anomala Petiolaris
      MIXED LUNA HIBISCUS Moscheutos
      BLUE Nymphaea Caerulea
      Pink Lotus WATER LILY Pad Nymphaea Sp
      CARDINAL FLOWER LOBELIA Cardinalis
      UMBRELLA PLANT CYPERUS Alternifolius
      PURPLE Lotus WATER LILY Pad Nymphaea Sp
      White Broadleaf ARROWHEAD Sagittaria Latifolia
      Mixed Colors LOTUS Nelumbo
      HOSTA ELEGANS
      BEE BALM Monarda Didyma
      LIGHT PINK Nymphaea Sp

      I honestly don't know how that'll go, at least for the water lilies: the pictures don't always match the species names, etc. But compared to the cost of water lily plants, the seeds are pretty inexpensive, so if they grow, life will be good!

      Thanks,

      Bill

      Hi, Nancy,

      Thanks for asking. I finally did another round of seed sowing on the 27th. Needed to make some room in the greenhouse to accept the new flats. Already, the Bog Bird's Foot Trefoil is coming up:

      Other things are beginning to peek out as well:

      It was my birthday last week, and since the water lilies are taking so long to germinate, I broke down and ordered a few: A blue tropical, a purple tropical, and a red hardy:

      The filter plants are coming along nicely:

      And the other seedings as well. I'm probably the only one who's growing a flowering maple to be used as a bog plant:

      Bonus image: the cherry on the east lawn. The picture was taken Tuesday. Alas, we had a very hard freeze last night, so its season was short this year:

      No impatiens seedlings yet, but they'll be here soon!

      Thanks,

      Bill

      Thank you for the pics Bill. Also Happy belated Birthday to you.

      Your plants are all looking great & healthy. Your Cherry tree is beautiful.

      I hope you post some pics once your plants & koi are all outside for the Spring. Would love to see your pond & greenhouse too.

      Without the shade house I cant grow impatiens in the water anymore. The sun in Oklahoma is just too strong for them or anything else fr that matter

      Thanks Nancy for this post. I saw this post early this year and tried out. I planted 4 in the stream and it’s amazing how fast they grow. I really like it. This will definitely plant plan every year!

      Gray Cat made me do it.....one of the best tips ever in my gardening experience. Who would have thought you could stick bare root common impatiens in the pond/stream and they would grow like this ! I experimented this year and used a plastic nursery plant grid to wedge the plants into, and extended the grid into the water as opposed to putting individual plants between the rocks . Took awhile for them to get started, but then they really took off.

      Mine have great a little bleached by the sun but otherwise are doing well. I had been using Sunpatiens but they can be hard to find sometimes and can be more expensive.

      That is a great tip to use a plastic nursery plant grid to hold the Impatiens. That could be very useful. Your Impatiens looks awesome.
      It takes mine a while to take off too. I have always thought they are growing their roots and then they take off for the season.
      You know you can even take cuttings and start them in your pond too. The plant grid may work well for that too.
