Wow that growth is amazing!  I knew that Colorado always performs well, but it must really like the care you are giving it :)

Beautiful!

What's that big brown fish on the bottom in the first pic?  Is it spotted?  I can't tell.

Is he good at his job?   and does he eat anything - or anyone - but algae?  He's pretty cool.

I've actually got to get out there and trim/dead head lily's tomorrow. The Miami Rose Mike sent me from CA has already put on 30 pads.

OK, not fair!
My Miami Rose is still just a tuber in the pot. None of the tropicals have done anything yet.
But Colorado, blooms already - Thanks Jen

Cheers,

Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?

Here's a shot of the Miami just after I put it in the main pond yesterday. Today all the pads are spread out so nicely.
