Finally a Flower

[ckreef]

3 years ago I put two Iris plants in my garden pond. Neither bloomed, one died. Year 2, the one left perked back up but no flowers. Finally year 3 we have our first bloom to welcome the new WFO. 

Look carefully you can see the goldfish in the background.

Love your pond. How hard is the upkeep? My wife transplanted a bunch of day lilies next to a part of our drive, and unexpectedly up popped a bunch of those irises in that same bed. Really pretty.

Once a month or so (yea I'm lazy) clean the filter. Once or twice a month I'll drop a garden hose in there and let it overflow for an hour or so giving it a water change. Feed the goldfish or not you can't kill them if you tried. 

That's about it.

I rely heavily on your "laziness" @ckreef!  That post of yours where you ran your KK for many cooks without cleaning it out made sure I don't fuss about getting all the ash out after every cook. Free the masses from needless toil!
