Water Hyacinths

CIMG0703.JPGThese beauties appeared on the surface of our little pond today.  These plants (water hyacinths) didn't bloom at all last year, in fact they suffered through the year, we believe trying to survive the hot desert sun.  My DH built a lovely sail shade for the pond this year and we're keeping up on enzymes and the like, and fish, plants, and humans are liking it better.  The pic below was taken in early June.  The plants have grown a bunch since then.

Omy... I love that squiggly line in the last photo. Is that fishy artwork or what?
Pool looks amazing now. Was worth all his pain in putting up the tarp.
