Water Lily ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) Because it used to live in this cramped container (the blue one on the left) water corner Oct 1, 2012 ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) And now... it has room to grow! water corner June 15, 2013 ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) I'm happy now too! Especially since the barrel was free and the "bamboo curtain" was $2 at a yard sale last year. :-D
If your water lily could talk it would be telling you it's loving its new home. I like the delicate shade of yellow of the flower.
Deanna... all that "stone" is actually old scalloped concrete edging that a friend wanted out of his yard. I gladly volunteered to haul it off for him. Wish I could find more. Jerry... I had been feeling sorry for them all cramped up. You could almost hear them breathe a sign of relief. Thanks Laura and Eileen. It is a pretty yellow. It didn't have a tag when I bought it. I do have a Lemon Mist that is similar... but it's center is more vibrant. Now.. maybe the lily I got from Fountainman will finally get a chance to bloom too!
I missed this post last week. What on earth are you feeding that plant??? I have got to get some for mine. It's gorgeous.
Toni... I got the tablets from a nursery near work. They had huge bags of it with factory labels (and a big price tag)... more than I could use in years. Then they had smaller brown sacks with 10 tablets in then with "Agriform" written on them. I put one in each pot this spring.
because lilys need to the water . without water every thing is down to down .similarly flowers do........
