Backyard pond

IMG_1305This is the small pond we put in several years ago.  Since we live in the desert, we wanted to provide a water source for birds and other critters.  The flowers around it are salvia (I think) which, as far as I know, are not native to Idaho.   My husband remembers, however, that we transferred the starter plants to our backyard from the mountains.  He has a better memory than I do.  Whatever their source, they are a great attraction for bees and butterflies.    Leslie

  1. Leslie, your pond is just BEAUTIFUL. I’ve wanted a pond since forever, but the best I’ve been able to come up with is a bubbling birdbath. Do you get frogs? I really want frogs.
