I hope this is the right place for these pictures of Iris in flower this morning, it's not strictly fishkeeping but is pond related.

the Iris were looking nice this morning I prefer the lighter more delicate coloured inflorescence but like the variation of the leaves on the darker plant.

Oh and if anyone knows a sure fire way to get rid of duckweed if they could arise from their sofa made of £50 notes and let me know I'd be obliged.
cheers
Steve

It's a six of one against half a dozen of the other.

I put it on the rock so I could picture it. cheers steve Attachments:
