It's so small you can't even see the pond in the pics, but I did take some.
Ok, I'll start a puddle build thread
It's just going to be for frogs, newts and plants etc and somewhere for birds to drink in summer so they don't get under the main pond cover and drown.

It's only about 5 foot by 2 foot..... Classed as a pond for normal people, but to koi people it's just an in ground measuring bowl

Plants arrived today, delivered by DPD bang on time.
I knew they'd likely be bare root with little foliage but on the whole I'm very pleased.
All plants really well wrapped in wet newspaper, and, unless they split apart in transit, I got more plants than I ordered.
2 lots of the Barred horsetail
2 lots of the forget me nots
2 lots of the golden buttons
4 root systems for the pink Darwin water lily, 2 with leaves and 2 were just roots with rhizomes.
And 3 of the unnamed water lilies as well, 2 bigger chunks with sprouts and leaves and 1 root with a single rhizome.
The other plants, Hermine water lily and Fibre Optic / Cotton bud grass came as ordered.
They came all labelled up and with planting instructions.
I soaked them all in a really strong PP mix for about 6 hours then planted straight into the cat litter in the Anoxic baskets. Didn't use any soil or anything but did put some aquabasis inside old tights near the roots
Never had pond plants before so will be pleased if they start growing and don't just die.
All in all www.wetland-plants.co.uk come highly recommended based on my buying experience.
Cheers all for the help.
