We just use concrete reinforcement wire. Its real heavy and last for years. You can make a lot of cages out of a roll of it. I even use them cut in half to stake up my peonies and bell peppers.

This year they will go south for sure. I lost most of my big water lilies last year. The only ones I managed to save were in 4 inch pots.

These are a couple more of my favorite lilies. I hope Craig comes here sometimes. I feel bad he sent me this great lily and then I left the other forum. It is doing so well now.

For some reason The only plants that look this good are in the kiddie pools. Mostly all are in 4 inch pots. The lilies I have in my main lily ponds are eat up with holes in their leaves. the only one I noticed today that looked real nice was my Foxfire.

hi gary, neat photo of a neat plant. 4 inch pot, hmmm, sean look out

lou

Louis, Sean is the reason I use small pots. I dont have the space to pot all my liles in large pots. Look at this Blink I took a pic of today. Its in a 4 inch pot also. Look how well its doing with only fish poop to fertilize it.

TammiCA sent me this lily in the spring of 2004. It was my very first tropical water lily. I thought I had lost it until they bloomed this summer. They are in 4 inch pots and have been there since fall of 2004.

This seed came up in a pot I left outside dry all winter. I sure like the leaf. Its almost big enough to bloom I think this leaf is bigger than my hand.

I would not at all be surprised if the attack came from somewhere in Oklahoma.

Why would you think it would come from Oklahoma? Everyone I know from Oklahoma that is on this board is above that sort of thing. Besides I really only know of one other person from oklahoma on this forum and neither one of us know how to take a board down,

Sean I am sorry this happened. I hope nothing like this happens again. The person or persons responsible for this should be put away where they can not do this again. I wonder how they can justify doing something like this. They are very evil in my opinion. gary
