Tonight we toured a nearby commercial water garden landscape place. I am only able to recognize a few of the water plants, like the lettuce, the hyacinth, and the canna and know none of the cultivar names, but it was sure fun seeing some of the gorgeous lilies and also, the many colorful koi--including one large pregnant fish that looked like she was ready to launch at least a thousand eggs. The koi will eat the tasty little eggs, but the tiny eggs are captured on the roots of water plants and then moved to another tank to hatch. I could not get a good photo of the wide-bellied momma koi swimming at the bottom of a dark tank, but I have a few selected photos from our tour.
