Recently, the owner of this exquisite water feature was looking for some ‘wow factor’ plants to frame the cheetah sculpture guarding her pond. The grasses, tea cups (colocasia esculenta), river stars (gomphostigma virgatum) and spiloxene aquatica (cape stars) we planted will provide a feast for the eyes all year round without detracting from the true flowers of this pond, her magnificent Koi, some of which are over 30 years old.
