Two New Blooms today

Attraction under a net in the front pond.


And my big surprise was this, Kat had told me it probably would not bloom for about 2 years & I only planted it at the end of last summer. When I went out first thing this morning it looked like it was drowning, it looked much better this afternoon.

Both are very lovely but the second one is my fav

The second one is a Lilypon. I got it from Kat at the end of last summer and she told me it might be 2 years before it blooms if it bloomed at all. She says it is a very hard to get to bloom hardy. I am very lucky it liked my planting mix and wakin pond.

Put lily pons in shalow water or it will bloom under water.

I got one last year, this year I put it in a large round pot 16" across this should give it plenty of growing room.  I will check the depth, but I think it is proably 12"-18" of water above the pot.
