thanks Banty, No wishing, that looks like a mimosa . They are hibiscus . The darker pink are the original / wild type and were called corkwood flower.

I have mimosa, that is different, but i see your leaves are very different--- more like hibiscus, just not sure exactly what it is.

This is mimosa type. The hummingbirds love them!

Beautiful place, Banty! Love the duck pond idea! I could do that easy, with rocks and a pond liner. Then just let it drain and spray it clean. If I placed is strategically, I could get my watering done at the same time!!!

Merci. Them stinkers weren't actually supposed to be there.... That's the pool cover, I just plopped the hose on it while I did something else and came back to find them pooping all over my nice clean pool cover. <<Mumble>>
Guess I get to wash it again.

How in the world do you have a pool in the middle of the artic?

Solar covers! That's what the ducks are sitting on. Love them things, they make pools warm enough for even southerners to enjoy. I think the thermometer read 78*F at one point last summer.

Granny, I think your plants are a Hardy Hibiscus, also called Rose of Sharon. They are related to hibiscus, all in the mallow family (along with Hollyhocks). Big way to tell is they don't need any care once established and the blooms only last a day or two. Does that sound right?

Yes, I saw it was a pool cover, and got a little confused... you use it for ice skating??? haha How do you keep the ducks out of the pool in the summer?

Well, the sides are 5' high, so unless they can teleport they ain't getting in.

Despite what you all think, we do have a summer.
It even hits 90*F once or twice in July--August....
