I was afraid I might have lost Panama Pacific. This was the first one to bloom this year.
Just glad it showed back up.

Here is a couple more...

The first is a 1st day bloom on Madame Ganna Walska.

The 2nd is my wife's new fave. It is a Red Nangkwag that I got from Kat here on the forum a few weeks ago.
The Indian Goddess are not my faves like my wife but it does have a pretty color.

For those of you who haven't seen them, the Indian Goddess aka Nangkwag have the sepals that look like green fingers supporting the flower.
To me it is kind of weird looking. My wife prefers unusual so it is her fave.
By the way, some of them have plain pads and some have flecked.
The red one pictured here actually has solid green pads.
The flecked pads in the picture are from a purple one that is next to it.

I keep trying... and trying... and trying.

Next on my hitlist are the Winch lilies, a Sacher lily and a few little known Landon lilies.... Give me a few more years and I hope to be there.

Do you have a pic of your pond with all these beauties?? Would love to see all the blooms together.

Oh STOP!!! No don't... I love them especially the Jack Woods. I destroyed my Greensmoke during the moving of the lily's .....the pads came off but the roots are still potted. Praying they come back.

Here's the lily pond what we have done of it....still have to trim the hedges some more and do the decor. Couldn't center it with the shop because of the driveway. I have no blooms.....not a one :'(. Got my King and Star of Siam today, will pot after the sun cools down here.

I've been waiting for new pics of your lillies! (what took so long?

) Beautiful!!!

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.

Tattoo of a water lily.. Hmmmm.. Nah, my commitment issues would probably prohibit it...

GAjen · « **Reply #17 on:** June 27, 2007, 05:05:59 PM »

I will always come here to look at your lily's. The skippy and "waterfall" is going in the goldfish pond now. Back to work for me.....tc, J.

Hi Tim,

You have a wonderful collection. The photos are gorgeous and I love Foxfire and Midnight Embers. The others are very nice too.

Tim, aside from the TT we are finished with the lily pond. Next spring gonna do your bog pond over the little inground pond so it'll be like 2 ft on the sides and 3 ft in the middle. The tropicals are doing well since I raised them....both Siam's still sluggish. Anyway just wanted to thank you for all the help you gave me and Shep and you keep growing those beautiful lilies.
