Water plants: the Hippo’s environment

As well as a Hippo I have been making some water plants to accompany big Geoff.
Water lettuce is a native of the waterways of Central Africa. Water hyacinth, however, is an invasive, introduced species. It does have pretty lavender flowers though.

Working without a work shop

Geoff #3 is beginning to take shape. It’s been a steep learning curve. On reflection I think the most difficult thing has been the planning. We are working in a borrowed space and so everything has to be brought in. You don’t realise the variety of stuff one needs.
