As you can see, the small clump of watercress we got from Paul, the Pond Gnome, has been fruitful and multiplied. The pickerel weed he gave us has also put up a spike of blue flowers.
The large bush is a potato bush, which has attractive blue flowers, but is not the right plant for this location. It's a good plant for our area which does well in hot weather, but it's too large and we need to keep pruning it back so that it doesn't block the view of the waterfall. It would be better suited to the area behind the waterfall, where it can grow to its full size and function as an attractive screen for the concrete block wall.

Cute! I love your little wood bridge in the back, too. I'm redesigning my backyard right now and just looking for some ideas. So far, I know I'm going to have some Arizona sod installed and a stone walkway with some potted flowers. Just need to figure out where to put the herb garden.
Sounds great! Just to warn you, the "redesigning" part never ends....but then that's part of the fun!
