Our small pond (roughly 4' x 6', but not square) was the winter
hibernation spot for a very large frog as well, and it still hangs out in
the water course above the pond quite often.  I appreciate their help in
keeping down the mosquitos and other undesirable insects.

It is quite attractive, adding some color interest to a bed that is just
beginning to put out buds.  All of the TB in this particular bed are
unidentified, so perhaps this will help me put names on a few of them
this year.
