This stunning Kingcup, Marsh Marigold or Caltha Palustris is one of the earliest pond plants to flower and it certainly brings a huge amount of cheer to the garden. If you have a pond then this plant is a MUST!
So, it certainly seems apt to give this a mention! Cecily Mary Barker’s

ReplyDeleteLovely, aren’t they.
So pretty....
ReplyDeleteWe have a pond, which is also a bird bath fountain, which my husband made. The pond is a kidney-shaped plastic tub, sunk in the ground, with rocks placed around it. The birdbath, sits on a cement block, in the middle. It has a *sculpture* of birds, on top of it. So he fitted the little hose, for a "fountain effect," into it, and down to a little pump... When you turn it on, from inside, the little "birds" above, make a fountain effect. The water 'spills' over from the bird bath, into the pond and etc. It's quite pretty and makes a sweet sound.
But I don't know, if this plant, would like it there. I see it, in a natural pond....
