Plants:

As summer continues, the heat seems almost unbearable. In fact tomorrow is calling for 102 degree temps. So it is quite fitting to feature a water lily this week. They provide great shade for your hot fish, giving them a chance to cool down. We would all choose shade over the blazing sun any day. The tropical lily that we will be featuring this week is the Green Smoke lily. This happens to be my personal favorite of all the tropical lilies. There is something so simple about it yet mesmerizing to look at. Its flowers are a green color with blue engulfing the tips. Each flower seems to have its own coloring, not one identical. Some petals have more blue on them, some more green, and some even seem to have a purple hue about it. The flowers typically grow 4" to 8" across, and the mottled (major bonus) up to 10" in diameter. The Green Smoke lily is not only breath-taking but is also quite fragrant, making your whole pond smell like the delectable floral aroma. This really is plant that inspires awe.

Fish:

Sarasas. One of the most underrated fish out there. They are in the comet family, having the same shape as your typical goldfish. What really makes this fish stand out is their colors. They come in a stark white and red. These colors contrast amazingly, providing you with one showstopper of a fish. They could be amply named the comet 2.0, as they practically are comets but with much more contrasting, bright colors.

Reminder: With the intense heat we have been experiencing it is important to make sure your fish have moving water and shade. Call or visit Steve for more information on how to take care of your fish this summer!

Pond:

As summer is one of the biggest entertaining times of the year, you want to make sure your yard is in ship shape. And nothing is worse than your guests coming and seeing algae in your water garden. One of the most convient and effective ways to clear your water feature of algae is Algaecide. Algaecide not only fights string algae but also floating algae (also known as pea sou algae). This is your way to having the crystal clear water you dream about.
