Marsh marigold? It grows wild here and is very pretty. 

I don’t have room for a proper duck pond, sadly: my garden is quite small now. They’d have to do with a paddling pool, which is plenty for the varieties I would get. 

Mind you, next door is in the process of selling, maybe the new owners would sell me a corner of the field…. 

 I might have been a marsh marigold, but I will never remember for sure. lol 

You should see how much a stock tank (for cattle) costs where you live. You might be able to get a pretty good size one for your duck! 

 I really do not have room. My garden is tiny. 

If I do get ducks, they’ll have to squeeze into the two foot wide, mostly-shaded bed along the side of the house.
