Kat sent me a R.Kay as a bonus in a postage/pip deal.
When it arrived, I wasn't expecting it - and had to run. So, to keep it alive, I just tossed it into the front pond, in the shallow end so I could find it again. When I got back tuit three days later, it had happily rooted and was taking off. So I left it.
Because its planted too shallow, it has dried out three times (I top off the pond when it hasn't rained - its a rain collecting puddle that was enhanced). We've had freezing weather, which caused the leaves to curl.
The thing is still blooming. With the colder temps, the blooms are smaller. But you can look down from the bridge and its got a dozen or so buds just waiting for the chance to raise above the surface and go off
To say I'm thrilled is not an understatement.
