They like moist leaves in forests. Turtles are still exotic animals, it is amazing they live around our house. Same with turkey vultures (TVs), mountain bluebirds, and cicadas. I wonder if I'll ever get used to them.LShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135583903768049008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622772963037648430.post-85688444989528610422008-03-06T09:35:00.000-05:002008-03-06T09:35:00.000-05:00But the box turtles came from the area in the wood...But the box turtles came from the area in the wood near some puddles didn´t it?

How can a plant that is so beautiful and nice on one side of an ocean turn into a pest here? But all the other pond plants are approved by me.LShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135583903768049008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622772963037648430.post-17378497893328002232008-03-05T06:01:00.000-05:002008-03-05T06:01:00.000-05:00I love this plant too,I had it in my aquarium för ...I love this plant too,I had it in my aquarium för a while before. Had to reduce them often though or they would have covered the surface entirely. <BR/><BR/>You could dig a nice pond where you have your "japanese rose invaded"- field, I bet the nice wildlife would thrive. And you could get your own box turtles!<BR/><BR/>Blue iris, yellow swedish iris, "fackelblomster", Strandveronika, rosendunörtEHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00275671822465334645noreply@blogger.com
