I have some that last a day, most are from 2-3 days, the third day they seem wilty. Then they sink below water, I go wading and cut the blooms off. And get my legs fish nibbled.

Addy, don't cut the flowers that are dying off, This is where the new plants really take off from, once you get a cluster you'll get several blooming at the same time. Two to three days is about Max, first blooms 1-2 days is normal, the older the plants are the longer the flowers will stay around.

Yeah, it was so fast I never got a pic because I'm not home during the day except on weekends. I saw it half open and then this morning it is bent over.

Really! wow didn't know that, I was told I should keep the dead blooms cut off.
Thanks fishin.

But do groom the leaves I would assume.

[Malak]

Yep I was confused there too for a minute................thanks Malak for clearing that up
Maybe when we go off topic we could at least mention the exact item we are starting to talk about anyways :lol:

 

[Malak]

Well, if you read them in order, it does makes sense - just like a conversation.

 

[j.w]

Yes but sometimes you have to go back to the very beginning to find that out cuz there are a lot of threads on this forum and some memories fade especially when one gets older and has senior moments

brain farts jw brain farts

 

[j.w]

Ha Ha I was trying to think of that but guess I had one at that moment..........yes brain fart, brain fart, brain fart.............ok impressed into my memory banks

 

[Malak]

the method I use is to go back to my last comment and read from there

 

[addy1]

laughing malak sometimes that does not work either cause the thread went a different direction
