I really LIKE the pink ribbon. I'm going to have to look for one locally.
:yes:

I adore N' Pink Ribbon. For a hardy it is unbelievable even in the heart of tropics where I saw it growing along side the likes of "Director George T moore".
The shape and even colour on this one when it matures is truly a magnificent site.

Love it Love it LOVE IT

Pinks are my new favorites...cause they open so early in the morning. Next year I think I'll have a designated tank for just pinks.

Yup, a GREAT bloomer, fragrant, and fast grower.

When I get the Walter Pagels from Lawanna, Pink Ribbon goes into the big pond and Walter Pagels goes in this barrel.

Joyce-Walter pagels is a perfect barrel lily....Bet, Pink Ribbon will be glad to stretch her legs....

Oh yeah she sure will!
She keeps on stretching out, and either the wind rips her pads off, or deer eat them.

Walter Pagels will also be going into the pondsai as soon as I get it up and running.

Joyce,

Do you grow your lilies in that barrel first and then put them in that big pond of yours? What decides if you grow them in the barrel vs put them straight into the pond?

Joyce · « **Reply #16 on:** August 16, 2008, 05:58:15 PM »

greenthumbnails, it all started when I divided my original Pink Ribbon into 2 lilies.
I put one half of the Pink Ribbon in one of the big ponds at work, and the other Pink Ribbon was donated to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens in honor of Judy Zuk. (who died of Breast Cancer)
The original Pink Ribbon pot which I thought was empty except for some soil and gravel, I plopped back down into the barrel, intending to some day plant it with a mini lily.
When I finally got around to dividing my mini lilies this spring, I noticed small pads coming up in the Pink Ribbon 'empty' barrel.
I hoisted the pot up out of the barrel, and there were pads coming up out of a small piece of tuber that I overlooked when I divided the lily in the fall.
So I left it in the pot, growing it out until it was big and strong enough to go into one of the big ponds at work.
So today was the day, the little Pink Ribbon was finally big enough to be moved into the big 'front' pond at work.
I also planted Lily Pons from Kat and a couple other tropicals from Kat.

Mini lily Walter Pagels from Lawanna went into the empty Pink Ribbon barrel.

It was like musical chairs for water lilies: 'Musical Barrels and Ponds'.

My back and hamstrings are NOT feeling so musical!

I wish I had that many ponds to play in...(sigh)...Lately whenever I drive by a retention pond or some empty fountain pool in front of a comercial building, I wonder to myself " Why don't they have any plants or lilies in there? I wonder if they would let me put some in there...." Me wishes I had a bigger pond.

Ohhh beautiful! Ohhhh I'm so in trouble, and getting more addicted every day! Now I know you can grow lillies in a barrel! New here, found out about Lawanna (giggle pond not done and plants are already ordered...umm is that jumping the gun or what?)from another forum and she recommended this one and I LIKE it! great information for newbie like me. Also looking forward to getting to know all of you.
