Sorry about the tomato soup water but it protects my Koi from the herons in this shallow 8000 gallon pond

Those are beautiful blooms.  Look at your Victoria pads (I hope I'm right on that) they're huge.  Shallow 8000 pond, might be shallow but it sounds huge....

Wow, that is one pretty lily! It almost hurts your eyes to look at the pics the color is so bright. ;)
Your Victoria looks pretty happy and is that a bud that is popping up through the water??

Gorgeous Red Flare! I hope to have one in my pond some day. Your Victorias are very happy looking. Any blooms yet? I miss having them in our pond. Please post photos of yours when they do bloom.

Your Red Flares are beautiful and yupp those are the Victoria Pads I recognize.  Absolutely beautiful.

Is shallow end of this pond where you keep the lilies or is the whole pond shallow?  What are the dimensions?  I need to know what I'll never get!! :D ;)

The Red Flare is exquisite.  And those Victoria's!  Wow!!!  I am curious about the dimensions and construction of the pond, too.  Inquiring minds want to know ;)

Sorry to hold you up folks,  but I'll get a pic of both of them as soon as I can get Mr. Murphy off my shoulder......he's been camping there the last couple of days.   I swear a new post is forth comming.   Check out the post from SheilaJ  "What type tank gets hottest" April 17 2007 and scroll down to see two or three posts and pics about this pond.  Catchya later!

Paul, Your pond and lillies are beautiful. So glad to see you posting pictures of your beauties. Have greatly admired them from the first time I seen them when we use to chat. I knew how every one else would enjoy them. O0

I really enjoy the color variances of the lily pads in your pond! Which lily has the striped leaves that you can see along with the red and solid green ones? Most of my current lilies start with colorful pads, but as they mature they become uniform in color. One of the reasons I am so fond of my red flare is the unique color of the pads. Since I may be destined to enjoy more pads than blooms, I'm quickly learning to prefer lilies with attractive pads.
