RE: Yahoo! Photos: tchessie's photo(s)/callas

Well- I haven't tried bog plants because I can't see water standing, it's
just kind of mucky.  Also, I was afraid that once summer really comes it
might dry out too much and then they'd die too.  Maybe I should just doa
ground cover of some sort this year just to cover up the dirt and then watch
the wet factor.
