One of the garden's most beautiful features is this amalgam of plants around a tiny pond. "We do have some goldfish in the pond,:" says Shirley. "And some oxygenating plants. It's all natural." Of the plants, she notes, "The yellow daylily is 'Creepy Crawler'. The burgundy plant is a 'Saturn Sun' Coleus--it's really terrific. Behind it I have 'Dallas Red' Lantana [Lantana camara 'Dallas Red'] and that blooms heavily and gets quite large after the daylilies are finished." The beautiful green ground cover about the daylily is Golden Moneywort, she adds. "It does really well in sun or shade, but is more yellow in sun." Golden Moneywort (Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea') is also known as Golden Creeping Jenny.
