Monster lilies living in my pond!!!
« on: November 15, 2007, 05:22:42 AM »
As I was getting the pond ready for the winter last weekend, I was attacked  :D by a monster lily. Actually the darn thing tried to trip me  >:( (not a good idea when the water is really cold.) By the time I extricated myself from it, I had uprooted the thing. It was so large I made my husband get the tape measure out, turns out it was 3 feet in diameter  8-)~. Guess it has been a while since I divided that particular one  {:-P;;. I had a bit of a dilemma on what to do with the thing. I can't get it to stay on the bottom because I uprooted it. I temporaily anchored it down with some rocks. Does anyone need any pink lilies, I have a few divisions :D

Divide, divide, divide.  Make the thing manageable.  What zone are you in?

Jerry - we are in Zone 5 - Michigan. Which means I have an inch of ice on the pond, or at least I did yesterday.
