A man made pond? Absolutely, we wanted to created a folly for this client. You just get a glimpse of the tree house balcony, which was the focal point of this water garden.

Liquidscapes Varigated Water Iris! The balance is Mountain Fire Andromeda (foreground) and Heath and Luecothea in the background. The Iris have wonderful foliage which reflects beautifully in the pond. They have a blue flower in mid spring. Enjoy!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
It's a good idea to plant irises in clumps, since this is how they typically grow in the wild. Plant four to five rhizomes together — but don't get them too close. Irises multiply every year, so leave a little space for them to grow.There is nothing worse than a line of single irises along a pond's edge. Avoid this, and plant them in groups instead.
added by Becky Harris to Great Design Plant: Eastern Redbud
That's interesting. Founding fathers Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were both fans of the Eastern redbud and planted many of them on their respective properties, Monticello and Mount Vernon.

Irises can be planted in any type of soil, but they love the water. In fact, they can even be planted in shallow water — Japanese and Louisiana irises are particularly good for water planting.
