One of the tropical flowers has now passed and slipped under the water. Although I see two more ready to replace it. Another hardy has finally bloomed, that makes 3 for the season. I was looking in the pond and it looked like a goldfish had a growth but it turned out to be a tadpole swimming over his back. I looked at the water and I was able to see many tadpoles swimming around. It looks like we will have helped the population. =D> I will continue to watch their progress and to identify what kind they are.
