Here are pics of some of the lilies blooming today. Notice any that might look good in your pond next year?
There are lots to choose from!

Maybe two or three might look good in your pond next spring!
Imagine how they will look!

Like the song says, "Did you ever have to make up your mind?"
Well, you don't have to! You can love them all!
But maybe just a few new to the pond next spring?

Aaahhh, more choices than Baskin-Robbins, but without the calories!
Have you picked "just one" favorite?

Sue, the night bloomer pads are sort of an army green, or greyish green. I have put Dipel on them today, but here is a pick of some of the pads.
Also, some more lilies!

Bob, in the winter I store the corms. I gather the corms, roll them in a Captan solution (using plastic gloves), and store them in plastic bags in slightly damp sand. They are kept at about 50* in the dark for the winter.
