miguynmkoi,
I actually only have about a dozen in the ponds. Most are in kiddie pools. There are a number of shots here on the forum with the pools. Some are semi segregated to grow specific lilies. Some have an eclectic mix. Some are devoted to growing out my newest acquisitions. If the koi continue to cooperate I might put a few more in there so they can grow really large. Good for the plants and good protection for the koi. We have herons and hawks that live all around me. No problems yet since I usually have 100+% pad coverage.
Jen,
looks really good. I remember you trying to figure out what you wanted to do. It looks like it all turned out great. Be patient, you'll get some flowers.
thepitclub,
I'm so glad you liked them. I work a lot so time to do the pics, followed by time to post them is a problem sometimes, but I'll keep trying.
I was able to get a few more shots this morning of Midnight Embers and Foxfire. I have a 3rd lotus that will bloom hopefully this week. I got pics of the 1st, none on the 2nd and we'll see on the 3rd.
I keep trying to take the "perfect" shot. My wife wants to get a tattoo of a waterlily or 3. She is looking for the "perfect shot". Unfortunately that is very subjective so I just keep clicking away. If my cameras weren't digital I'd be broke for all of the film I would have to develop.
