I picked up acouple of rather large plants to set beside our fireplace for the graduation party that we had. This is when the plant was still the greenhouse:

And lastly for today, for the last few years I have been working on another project. Right now it is non flowing. We been looking for a pump big enough to keep the flow working. But I continually add plants and rocks to this-eventually it'll look natural

Gorgeous plants and Iris.
Your water fall is going to be wonderful, hope you are able to find a pump the size you need.

Hey your hostas don't have any holes in them.  Mine always seem to get chewed on by slugs.  Love those iris and the water feature is going to look fantastic once it's up and running!!

Mmm, nice!  Your hostas are so lovely, and your blooms too. Your waterfall project looks fabulous. Keep at it, I want to see it all done.

Oh Petunia, that waterfall is going to look amazing when it's done! Now there's something I could do with all these rocks. Only problem here is that my yard is completely flat...hmmmm....something to think about.

Ah! Look at all those lovely rocks! I agree with the others -- it is destined to be fabulous! Very pretty iris and bleeding heart.

Thanks for all the comments.
Eileen, I usually don't have problems here with slugs.
Netty, you could look into maybe a small pond or make a build up of soil or sand for a small hill.
Glendann, party went well. two of my family members spent the nite over and we went for breakfast the next morning.
I really like my waterfall, until I can get that right pump-for now I'll just keep adding plants.
