There is never enough room for all of the water lilies that I want ;-)

Joyce--I think we had our fair share of nasty weather this spring.  Hope it will continue to rain more today.  We really didn't get enough.  Everything is looking brown around here because of the heat & no rain.

Lucky you got some rain, if only a bit.  Made your lilies look extra special; not that they need any more help to look more beautiful than they already do!

Wow!  Thanks for the mess in making our lily orders arrive at our doors looking so great!

They are so beautiful to me  o(:-)

They would all make my wish list, but I    MUST    have a KoS and a Barbara Burnett  8-)~

You gotta love that "mess"  :o  BUT it hurts my back.  I told DH I was gonna pot my hardys in soap buckets next spring and group them in the tanks and just remove one at a time when they were too full... >:(-THEN I found one I had potted up to give away...tipped over so full of growth...so maybe not.  The dishpans work good...but so heavy when overgrown with a huge lily and many divisions.

Sue, could you imagine having to lift plant loaded dishpan pots out of inground ponds?  I probably would have given up because of all the extra lifting if my ponds were not above ground.

My son and S-n-Law have offered numerous times to dig me a inground pond.  I always say... NO WAY...I'm too old and stove up to try to tend to an inground watergarden.

But I'll take as many tanks as DH is willing to bring home.  I can reach to the center of an 8' tank usually without having to get in...or use a rake handle to position pots.  DH will help lift pots...but I just hate to wait for him to get home.

I like how the rain drops are camoflauged into the Islamorada.  I also like your work station.  I always wonder how to keep things clean.  I think it's almost impossible.
