Gonna murder a blooming lotus... Joyce or MCP a favor.....
« on: July 14, 2009, 11:31:46 AM »
I dont know what has happened.  My normally very well behaved koi who just barely nibble my liliy leaves on rare occasions have turned into salad eaters.  I dont know if it was when I started growing azola in another pond for them and feeding daily but they are ruining my lilies.  They uprooted a blooming joanna pring and tossed her all over the place, my n pgymae has no visible leafs left and it was massive for a mini, there are bloom stems of huge would be flowers they have chewed off but didnt bother to even eat so I wouldnd know they were eating the blooms to.  I brought home to many lilies I cant replace from Tmikes pond soooo I have decided to dig out the ms perry ( my monster) lotus pond.   I hate killing a blooming beautiful lotus but this was her first year in this pond so shes not huge yet. I am hoping next year that either joyce or mcp can send me back a tuber.  I think you both have them.  Then  I can start her over again after I get another pond ready. hehehe.. I have pulled out the 25 x 50 ft liner I have and started to dig a massive lily pond on the down side of my property.

thanks much!  Tomorrow they will be in the lotus pond and hopefully can recover so if I can replace the lotus I will be one happy person.

Tink,
Will be more than happy to share Lotus with you next year if you need them.
I have been wondering how long before you got that piece of liner out and started using it. Can't wait to see what you build. :)
