The red flowers are Monarda, or Bee Balm. You might like to read about this interesting plant here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarda
It was used by native Americans as a multi-purpose medicinal herb.

The leaves on your water lily look super healthy DP. I like how they stand out of the water.

What is the name of the plant with the yellow flowers to the left of the bee balm?

The yellow flowers are primrose (Oenothera.

As they stop blooming, they will be replaced by the yellow blooms of day lily.

My DH has a friend at work who is in the process of building a pond. He wants to make his own rocks like you DP. I'm trying to get him to join the forum. The funny thing is he recently went on a pond tour around the county. He took a survey of the 20 pond owners he visited: What do you do for a living? 18 of them responded "I'm retired!".

Your pond always looks so perfect and immaculate. Thanks for sharing the beautiful pics.
