Me, too! A pond would be really great!
-
Ah, but what would we have to do? The plants wouldn't need watering.
Water lily seeds, for one, are sprouted in water.
-
Yes, I suppose that is true. But this is a game, so perhaps we would need to water the pixel variation?
-
You would still have to replenish the water for water lilies and alike. The don't do very well in dried out puddels.
-
Good point
-
Does that mean we're getting a pond?

Pretty flower, but ironically I like the cherry blossom better.(First one on that page.)

I agree with Kintara about primroses. This time of year the garden primroses are beautiful. Right after the camellias quit, the primroses take over. All colors, most with yellow "eyes" at the center. The scientific name of the wild type is Primula vulgaris, but the lovely color range is mainly found in the cultivated hybrids of that type. Primula is low-growing with trumpet-shaped flowers, and should not to confused with the taller, bigger tissue-paper flowers of the evening primrose (genus I believe is Oenothera). We have white, yellow, purple-blue, red and hot pink planted on our hospital campus. They are gorgeous.

Oh yes, more spring flowers would be lovely. Or tiny wood flowers like (I'm sorry) Buschwindröschen http://www.killikus.de/killi/buschwin…ne-nemorosa.jpg

Wood anemones. -
Wood anemones.or as you say here, Hvitveis!
an YES omg Hvitveis, its all over in the spring and early summer in the forests here, or even glens closer to the city.
I have such childhood memories of going to the forest on trips and seeing these!
Also we should add its bluer, and much less common chalked-earth-loving cousin Blåveis. -

But we already have it, it's Liverleaf (Anemone hepatica). You even have one in your sig.
-
oh sorry, I never imagine that "liverleaf" was "Blåveis"!
I think the norwegian name is much better
reason I didn't connect it I think is that english wikipedia uses not "liverleaf" as name. but i see jo that the latin names are the same.
-
I'm in the UK and have never heard the name 'liverleaf', but that's not to say it isn't ever used. I have heard it called 'liverwort'.
-
Well, I've never heard of it at all. lol
-
Well, the second part of the name, hepatica, means "of liver", that plant was probably believed to help in liver problems or something like that.
-
I must admit that down in NZ it is known as Liverwort (I've certainly never heard it called Liverleaf).
