Here's the almost complete pond. Swamp iris on top, hyacinth pulled from the Tenn-Tom Waterway in lower. As recommended, water lilies, lotus, & pickerel rush on order. Working on the surrounding plants with local shop, looking for the elderberry and a bamboo that won't take over the world.

Great suggestions. Particularly like the elderberry idea. We're not quite tropical here. Winter lows are often in the 20s, so will need hardy plants or overwinter them. Thanks, friends.

Here is a photo of our just completed 2000 gal above ground pond. It has a small elevated pool at one end that flows back through a 24 in waterfall. Next is the landscaping. Any suggestions for tall plantings behind the upper pool that will do well in north Mississippi? Bill

Very nice. Did you put in a drain? I am building a similar one & have a leak around the bulkhead fitting for the drain.
