    Oh the shadow of the tree through the curtain is so nice!
    And I love the ponds, made one this year too, plants only- the seller recommended some Elodea submerged in the water, they make oxygen and keep the water fresh. Also no problem if it rains- only huge, fat drops will splash out some of the little swimming plants, the rest stays in thanks to the surface tension.
    And if I say plants only.. there are some tiny water snails that came with the plants, eat the algea and the dead foliage~ have a look out for those, they are cute ^^

      i haven’t really exchanged water out, i just top it off whenever it evaporates a bit. ideally you would do some water exchanges but since i only keep plants right now i’m not too worried about it. and ab the rain…. i don’t really have a plant yet other than putting a lid on top haha. luckily it doesn’t rain too often in LA though!

    The white flowering plant is sweet alyssum (Lobularia), a crucifer. Look closely at the flowers. They form an X or cross. Sweet alyssum also comes in pink, dark pink, peach, magenta, light purple and dark purple. The dwarf varieties are 3" - 4" tall. Some well-known crucifers are mustard, radish, broccoli, cauliflower and stock. When sweet alyssum goes to seed, shear it back just below the forming seeds and it will grow back and rebloom.

    Hey now that your in LA a great nursery to checkout is Villa Hermosa. It’s in Torrance which is right below LA and they have a variety of things like flowers, succulents, houseplants, and plant stuff like pots and fertilizer. I know Yamaguchi Bonsai nursery is far away and I’m assuming your near there but if you ever have time I would recommend going to Villa Hermosa, it’s also family owned if your into supporting that type of thing.
