So awesome! Now I'm thinking I need a small tropical. Do they come in small sizes?

I was happy to see that many blooms at one time
Smaller tropicals--there are a few but the only 2 I can think of right off the top is Colorata & Dauben. You can limit tropical growth by planting in "dixie" cups, minimal fertilizer, & keep the pad count low. The blooms will be smaller, too. My tropicals get overcrowded but at least the pads don't mound up nearly as much as hardy pads do when there isn't enough surface water.

I don't see a photo. Must use imagination to see Kat's beautiful lilies......
Now I see them after refreshing the page! Beautiful! Jealous. I have stubborn buds that get good and fat but have not opened yet. I do not remember waiting so long for one to open.

Sean has a tutorial on how he grows his lilies in dixie cups. I grow all of my extras in cups now & my mature plants are grown in 1 gallon sized nursery pots. I'll even put 2 plants per gallon pot to crowd them & to see double the blooms.
Waiting for buds to open can feel like forever
I forgot that I had this picture of so many blooms at one time.

Look at those long stems, so high above the water!!
Kabuki, there are miniature lilies available (not sure if they're tropical or hardy), an d they are just gorgeous, and well suited for small container water gardens, or small ponds. We've discussed them here, so maybe you can find the thread with pics, or just Google. Name is something like pygmea

Blue Star is a great tropical. The pads are huge and the blooms are as well. Very nice pics, Kat.

Wow nice looking blooms. I use to plant my August Koch 3-4 plants together in 4 gal pots to get that mass planting look. It looked very neat.
