10. Lake
Near the small lake is a Pyrus salicifolia pendula (Willow leaved pear)
and a group of Vestia foetida with its very smelly leaves. Some of the
plants situated on the edge of the lake are the beautiful Lobelia cardinalis,
Schizostylus (Kaffir lily), Lysichiton (Skunk cabbage), Caltha palustris
(Marsh marigold) and the magnificent Gunnera manicata. In shallow water
are the Butomus umbellate (Flowering rush), Sagittaria latifolia also
known as American arrowhead or Duck potato and the eye catching blues
of the Pontederia cordata and the tall Hardy canna. There are several
Water lilies and the pretty yellow Nymphoides peltata. Stop at the jetty
for a while and watch the many species of dragonfly and damselfly, if
you are very lucky you may see some newts and even a Kingfisher has
been seen by some of our visitors.
