Hmm "Key Largo" is a lovely looking thing. Midnight looks like rain damage, feeling good I gave it away. It has very nice baby flowers though, in shape like the beautiful "Pink Candy".

"Pink Bells"....is that a daylily?? I absolutely LOVE those!!!!! Pink is my favorite color! I didn't even know they had pink ones!!!!!! I love your water lily colors....they're so different!!

Kat · « **Reply #12 on:** July 22, 2008, 04:46:23 AM »

The Midnight is heat damaged but I don't care about that. It is still an amazing lily & I will always have it in my collection. Just like Mayla doesn't like the 100 degree days but the bloom is amazing in the spring & fall during cooler temps.

I got my Yerba Mensa from Lawanna, you might want to check with her to see if she has any to sell.

Pink Bells "Chi Chi" is what I originally bought. It will get about 4 feet tall & spreads quickly by seed. So if you don't want it growing everywhere, don't get it unless you've got the time to pull out the babies from your garden. It works out well for me growing behind my ponds along the wall of the house. Adds color & texture. Grows either as a marginal but as you can see it does just as well in the ground.

Would the Pink Bells come back every year here in Zone 5?

Kat · « **Reply #14 on:** July 22, 2008, 07:20:53 AM »

I have no idea about zone 5. You could save the seeds & reseed every fall/spring. May not get as tall from the seed if they die off every year. Mine are coming back from the roots probably.

I think Key Largo is my favorite tropical of yours

They all look great

The pink bells are not hardy. Ruellia is the genus. Often called Mexican Petunia. I did keep them over in my greenhouse but they've done better out of the pond than in it.

I just can't get enough of your pics. With this new monitor, I swear I think I would reach in and smell/touch the lilies and water.

Aren't digital cameras great

I've got Mexican Petunia, too. Some with broad leaves & less with the narrow leaves. The Mexican Petunia is very aggressive as it spreads by runners & seed although I love the purple to compliment the pink. Key Largo is a prolific bloomer. I usually will plant 2 together to get the most visual effect.
