Debbie's water lily bud inspired me to finally get around to sharing some of the lilies that have been blooming. They got off to a slow start with the cool spring, but are strutting their stuff now!

Hardy Water Lily 'Highlight'

Hardy Water Lily 'Mangkala Ubol'

Hardy Water Lily 'Florida Sunset'…one of my favorites!

Hardy Water Lilies 'Colorado' and 'Mayla'

The tropical lilies are just getting started. This is 'Miami Rose'.

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

The ponds aren't at their peak, yet, so I haven't taken many full pond shots, yet, this year. This is our largest pond...not completely finished, yet.

We have 3 ponds...I've posted pictures in older threads. However, most of these lily pictures are from plants in our holding tanks.

Oh I remember the thread about your ponds now. Thanks, Seeing more of it brought it back

Why are the plants in a holding tank and not in the pond? Never had one, so all the questions

Looks great! It is a huge on hey?

Well done, starting out with classy varieties of waterlilies growing with enough space between to see them among stylish reflections.

It looks like you struck a happy balance there, that pond will be quite an asset for many years...

Thanks, Andy!

I'm a plant lover, though...the spacious look won't last long.

It had already filled in just a few weeks after the last pic...

whoa, Josh,
that blue trop waterlily in the foreground is rather nice, would you by chance know its name?

Regards, andy

Yes, Andy...it is 'King of Siam'.
