I will act as a semaphore

So my pond is starting to accumulate life. It's amazing how quickly things will find and gravitate towards a fairly uninspiring bit of water. I've started the process of muddying and planting the outer edges and have got a variety of native species in already: Marsh Marigold, Yellow Flag Iris, Water Mint, Water Plantain, Gypsywort, and Purple Loosestrife.
