Not mine, sadly. I see this tree peony on my walk to work. I bought one two years ago, but it will be a while until it looks this nice! I just had to share.

I love my molly the witch peonies. They beat my tree peonies to flower every year and I like to have the season go as long as I can

All on one stem. Never seen it happen before and it's on three different tulips (the others have 3)

Hello! My friends at the pond subreddit are split on this question, so i thought I would ask the science and math-related fellow nerds here. The area where I have dug my pond is, ironically and frustratingly, full of water. I think the ground water level is about two feet down, but I want my pond to be 4+ feet down (This image was taken during the winter when the ground was frozen, the actual level of water is a bit lower, second picture is more accurate but harder to see). Some are saying the weight of the water will keep the rubber liner down and everything will be fine. Others are saying the water coming up from the ground will create a bubble in my liner at the bottom and thus be a big problem.

If I fill the 15 ft x 12 ft pond with water to a depth of 2 feet, will that be enough to hold the lower, flooded section below it -a smaller oval, lets say 5ft x 8ft and 2 feet of water- forced down or will the pressure equalize and I'll have a liner problem? What is there is heavy rain and the wwater level rises another foot?

(Just to address this now, I live near a wetland and want to create a natural space for local wildlife, but during dry spells this will completely disappear and that's not the best for fish. Leaving this 'as is' isn't really the best option and won't be a pond)

The pond I dug... is full of water. No liner yet, it just floods no matter what I do. It's lower now than this i age, but still a foot or two of water in there.

I live next to a wetland and I believe this is just the water line, 2 ft down. Is...is this an issue? Should I just put the liner in and not worry about it? Do something different?
