Message: [QUOTE="CountryEscape, post: 119461, member: 3087"] I tried planting calla lily bulbs in a pot in my bog, and so far no sprouts. They looked like they were sprouting last time I checked but so far nothing has come up above the ground. I think calla lilies typically bloom a short time, but not positive. Others who have them will know for sure. I just wanted something different in the bog. Your plants look really great, water is so nice and clear, can see the bottom and how you have your lilies planted in the rocks, and if that algae on the waterfall is what is bothering you, shut off your bog, and then after the water is done draining over the edge, spray it with peroxide and water solution (I can't remember, maybe 1/3 peroxide? ... Sissy will chime in here on this) and that will kill the algae. Then after a bit, maybe an hour or so, you can turn the water back on. The stuff is really potent against algae, just don't pour it into your pond like I did. I really suspect that is what made my pond so murky. Maybe not, but I don't want anyone else to have cloudy murky water for 2 months because of trying to get rid of algae really fast! [/QUOTE]
