Monster is eating my pond.
« on: May 28, 2007, 12:44:41 PM »
I just got my lilys back from Lawanna 2 weeks ago and they were pretty small but they are growing fast fast fast. This is a night bloomer that I got from Louann and its already 5 foot wide. the other to leaves are from some seedlings that wintered over outside. They have not ever bloomed yet but the leaves are pretty.

Gander,
Nightbloomers will get really big really quick. You do need to pull it up and thin it out though if you want a lot of flowers.
Nightbloomers are especially good at reproducing. Sometimes you can wash the soil from one and have hundreds of babies.
I pulled a few up last night that overwintered in dixie cups a la Sean.
I had 2 maturing plants and 6 more starters in that one dixie cup although it had already jumped the root system out of the cup.

I dont usually like night bloomers. Well except redflare and I like it for the pad. I have had this one a few years it does not bloom well for me here. I believe this one is  N. 'Emily Grant Hutchings' I also have a N. 'Mrs. George C. Hitchcock' so it could be that one too. It seems as though I have a few extra pots of them than I remember having too. I know they are mine because I use a different type of pot than Lawanna uses. I dont want to devide it. I dont have time to send them to anyone and I dont want any more than I have already. I have way too many now.

Gander,
Any idea what the lily was that produced the seed for that last almost totally burgundy pad?
It is really cool looking.
Feed the heck out of it and grow it out.
Let us see how it develops.

Tim no idea at all. They came up in a pot of woods Blue Goddess. There were thousands that sprouted. It was a pot full. There were lots of different lilies in the pond.

Okay.. where have I been?

I thought that you only had your lily pond and your Koi pond! 
Now you have a raised pond.

Anymore that I don't know about! ;)

Well it's obviously not N. Woods Blue Goddess. The pads look a little like N. Lindsey Woods juvenile pads but still way darker.
Either way they are really cool looking.
I hope it's something spectacular for you.
