I bought this Corkscrew Rush (Juncus effusus 'Spiralis') several years ago because I liked it, but I never got around to doing anything with it. It just lived in its nursery pot in a rubber stock tank filled with water. Amazingly, it survived.
Recently I transplanted it into the chocolate terra cotta pot and put the whole thing into its new home. I am slowly, very slowly, transforming a vintage bathtub into a small, very small, pond. For the most part, the "pond" has merely looked tacky, but I think that when I am finished, it will be alright.
The "pond" is a favorite place for the cats to come drink water. The neighbor's dog comes to drink there, too. Personally, I would look for "cleaner" water, but they seem to really like it.
Julie is planning to enter the black and white photo in the County Fair. I love Tiger's reflection in the water.
Have a beautiful day!

I love the idea of a bathtub pond. I have thought of adding a small pond to my garden - it would probably be even smaller than a bathtub. Do you have any fish in yours? Maybe that wouldn't be such a great idea with the cat there. That black and white photo is great, btw.
Ruth, How clever! -- what you did with the corkscrew rush and Julie's great photography. The last picture is a prizewinner! Oh, and yes, and i agree she does need her own camera.
K - I'll pass on your comments! :)
Hi, Daricia - I do want to have fish, but I don't yet. I will make a hiding place for them so at least they will have a chance! :) I REALLY want the whole project finished so I can fully enjoy it AND so I can post pictures. But honestly, I don't know how soon that will be. Thanks for stopping by! :)
Thanks, Pam! I am very pleased with how it turned out. I'll let Julie know you like her picture and that you agree about the camera! :)
