We got our first digital SLR last weekend--the Nikon D60 (the D60 model replaces the D40X--Nikon no longer is making the D40X). Finally got some good blooms today!
I went out to top off the containers this morning as we've had nearly 100 degree weather and lots of evaporation. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw this pink bloom slightly under a pad. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was the Lily Pons I purchased from Kat back in June! Whoa!
Here is is opening up
I also got to come home for lunch today and got a couple mid-day pics. Hubba hubba!
Also blooming were Pink Grapefruit

Another view of the yellow hardy
A tiny Walter Pagels in a cool ceramic container. It's surrounded by some giant duckweed from Kat and also full of tiny black tadpoles from those noisy frogs or toads that croak from about 10 p.m. on (the neighbors have mentioned how obnoxious they are...we love it!)
Also, when I was topping off the pots this morning, I noticed a really large toad/frog hopping around slowly. I thought it was a hunchback or something at first glance. Here's an up close with the camera...they must be the parents of those hundreds of tadpoles in the WP container!!!!
