wet land plants

Many plants exist in the wet land portion of the garden.
When it rains the water flows out of the pond down a creek bed into a low land area called the wetland.
This area has many plants that love water and are drought resistant.
The first is an upper area tree, incense cedar. Notice the bright green foliage.
The second is a shrub called nine bark. It has a characteristic split bark liken to paper birch.
The third shrub/tree is the pacific willow. It started out as a single stick and has spread into a water devouring plant.
Finally the red colored shrub is a red barked dogwood.
The red bark provides most of the photosynthesis for the plant during the winter.
