I know most of the postings are for ponds, but I've really enjoyed my container water gardens over the years. Every spring, my big glazed pot gets hauled out of the basement, filled and planted. It's really soothing to have bubbling water and little fish to feed every morning.
I've grown dwarf papyrus and canna, water hawthorne and dwarf lilies, plus a pretty plant with heart-shaped leaves called 'Snowflake.'
I don't know, having a water garden--of whatever sort, I suppose--is calming. And who doesn't need that these days? :)
