You give me hope that in time it will be a bit more self-sustaining.<br /><br />About the crinums, let me think... I think they're either going to be <a href="http://blogging-the-house.blogspot.com/2009/10/fall-update.html" rel="nofollow">this one</a>, which we think might be <i>C. digweedii</i>, or they might be a pale lilacky-pink like <a href="http://blogging-the-house.blogspot.com/2010/05/pond-plants.html" rel="nofollow">this one</a>, which we think is <i>C. powellii</i>.

You know,all elements in alignment or something like that. I was thinking about the fertilizer thing and can see where you might have to do it now as your pond doesn't have any age on it yet, not enough natural nutrients. We fertilized ours early on but quit after a while when I felt it was more established nd things were working more naturally.<br /><br />By the way, what color were those Crinum lilies you gave me? They are doing great by the way.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820151806039495564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053374700597619005.post-72234162173905372422010-08-01T21:39:14.951-05:002010-08-01T21:39:14.951-05:00You have definately peaked my interest in the rose...You have definately peaked my interest in the rose grabber.
