I don't have a lot of flowers planted that aren't part of the vegetables that I have growing, but I do have a few...

I found some cornflower seed that had to be over 10 years old and spread it around the upper pond area...

The water hyacinths that I use to help purify the pond water are blooming along with some blanketflower...

The main pond's Darwin waterlilies are starting to bloom...

And there are a thriving bunch of Gomphrena next to the smaller goldfish enclosure...

Love it! Gomphrena is a plant that should be used more…

I love the water hyacinths and water lilies. They have such clean crisp lines. They are just stunning!

So pretty. I have had water hyacinths in the past and I love the shiny leaves with that perfect green color.
