What do you think is the cause of the "odd" pads that you have been getting?

The petiole on this pad is oval not round. It looks like two pads did not completely separate. I need to pull the pot from the pond to see if anything looks different.

Dan, that "bug" is a little bee and will pollinate your water lilies or cross pollinate them. Watch for seed pods if you are not dead-heading your lilies.

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.
