| A pair of red and white oranda fantail goldfish, the author's favorite. Stock photo |
| Avoid placing your pond close to trees. Not only are the roots difficult to dig through, the leaves will pollute the water. Plus, pond plants need more sun to bloom properly. Stock photo |
| Try to design the waterfall to look as natural as possible, like this one. Stock photo |
| A missing dorsal fin and a velvet head are the trademarks of lion-head goldfish. Stock photo |
| Tri-colored koi. Growing up to two feet, koi are not meant for small ponds. Stock photo |
| White water lilies nymphaea odorato are the most vigorous of all the hardy varieties. Alice Tricker is a popular hybrid. Stock photo |
| N Maggie Belle Slocum Water Lotus. Though beautiful, they are not winter hardy. Stock photo |
| Polyester water lilies. Note how the flower appears to grow out of the leaf, a common misconception. Stock photo |
| Red Ryukin Fantail Goldfish are slower moving than the comet, or common, goldfish, and are more susceptible to snakes and predatory birds. Stock photo |
| To get ideas for plants to surround your pond, visit my Flower Pics & Tips starting on Page 8. I'm snapping photos and posting them on this website as each plant comes out of dormancy and blooms. I have thousands of flowers,shrubs, and vines, many rare and divine. So, it's worth checking out, like a walk through a botanical garden without having to pay. Enjoy!
