I haven't noticed the leaping fish on my previous visits so I wonder if it's new, perhaps not, I often walk around with my eyes closed to what's around me.

There's so much to take note of and it's good you can go there often. I wouldn't be able to have a bog garden area in my garden, but I like the way the candelabra primulas are mixed in with the hostas and the irises are in big clumps.
