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.
