Very interessting information B.Scott!!! Thanks

In Germany there are mainly two ways of building a pond.

Using foils or building a oblong pool out of beton and coating it with GRP.

When using beton/GRP the pond is usually formed like a oblong, bur only a few have such a styled outer pond wall. The majority doesn't build the pond higher then the level of the garden.

Fiol pond are stlyed more in irregular forms.

Also the garden styling is different. Either there is an "German Garden", with some flowers around the pond, or it's a very attractiv Japanese garden, within a lot of work and money.

I styling like Tom C with palm trees and this kind of flowers i have never seen bevor, but I think palm trees are in California part of the homing plants, isn't it?

So it's the same, like planting flowers around the pond in Germany.
