Hey, Richard. It is lotus. "Russian Red" variety - scarlet red flowers. It is winter hardy. They are very rare now, but lotus are native in NY state too. Have to comb many swamps though to find one, I am told. This was $50 from a local retailer. (my PC says 2:59 pm ??)Richard B wrote:What is the plant in this pic & is it frost hardy?

Thanks! Yeah, it is called town drainage. Legally it is what they call an easement to the town of Greece (Rochester suburb) - I cannot touch itShovelnose wrote:Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!You virtually have your own river basin in your backyard!!!!
Thanks!!! Smaller, much smaller, really . Wish I could build a whale pool for whale-size cats. I take it you missed the part where I declare my intent to move to your motherland Florida because otherwise you'd poke me about it, I am surecrkinney wrote:WOW Ain't much impresses this old man but you have done it your place looks better than sea world

I think you would love the things that show up in out side tanks in florida.snakes,gators frogsand bugs of all sort and some times after a hard rain you will get new fish from the sky.
If you like it warm.Come on down.

Yep. 3.5 h from you on the other side of Lake Ontario. Thanks! Yes, the heart shaped one has a few more layers of meaning for me and my better half but it is a very tough riddle for those who don't know and my better half'd like to keep it that way.L number Banana wrote:Wow , Victor, didn't realize you were so close! Those ponds are beautiful. I love the heart shaped one of course - must have been for the better half
I also like your 'king tut' papyrus plants and the black elephant ear colocassia (I think). Birds must love that yard.
How's the herons in your area? Mine should be on their way across the lake to your house pretty soon now. You can keep them if you like
