Love that purple lily! well lilac color.

I am adding a hour of water everyday to my ponds. The hot tub pond loses about a inch a day. We are sitting in the high 90's for the next week or so.

Wow that is unreal we have had a bunch of rain in the state, here at my home we are behind. Just south they have had up to 5 inches in a storm.

I have the same purple lilly . I was told it's a hybrid. it has the color of tropical lillys. But it survives the ct winters this is the third or fourth year it has come back. But I do make sure it does not freeze and place it in 2to 3 feet of water for the winter.
It at least looks to be the same type . Love them

They lover fertilizer. I put in 1/4 cup osmocote at the beginning and or end of the season, dumped under the kitty litter. Carries them through the summer for flowers.

I fertilize them every 20/30 days...mine are under booster eheh
When I go in for maintenance i just put in some fertilize

They love fertilize and splitting....but my friend situation was different; like 10 years in normal buckets w/o holes and w/o any kind of split...the poor lilies were only roots

I do fertilize, but only once in the spring. Guess I need to fertilize more. Plus I think I have mine sitting pretty low in the water.

For sure eheh. If the pads are on surface i think doesnt matter how deep they are because they reached the surface.(this if they are placed at the righe deep)

Wow, that's some change! And what a great selection of water lilies! Makes me want to go out and buy more lilies... But at the moment, I can't afford them. I'll just have to wait until next year.
