You don’t need a pond in your garden to grow lovely water plants. These iris are quite happy in an old plastic recycling box courtesy of our local council!

Wow…
Lovely aren’t they? And all flourishing in a plastic box which is also full of frogs 🙂
That’s frogs as in spongy things for plants, not the ribbit kind, right? Just making sure I have it straight. 🙂
Ha! ha! No, not frogs (flower arranging?) but the real ribbit kind! My cats love to fish them out of the water and play frog-tennis! Sounds cruel but they don’t hurt them and we put the frogs back in the pond when we find them at it. 🙂
Frogs in flower arranging are green pieces of Styrofoam that they shove the flowers into to maintain the arrangement. I am glad the cats let the frogs live. 🙂
Thanks Ruth-I think we call it oasis here but somewhere in the back of my mind I thought it was associated with flower arranging. Oh yes, the cats are harmless and they haven’t hurt one yet and I take it off them when I find it as the frog can become distressed if physically unharmed.
