While Japanese iris have the reputation for being tough as boots, go like clockwork, slow growing, choice aquatic plants, they do sneak up some flurries liike no other. These cascade from a single 3 gallon tub...

As the Japanese, ensata iris fade, it's time for the tropical waterlilies to get out of bud....

Going from sprouted tuber to blooming in about a month, given a position they like

As is usual, St. Louis Gold does the unexpected. Not only did it survive some dang mean long Winter outdoors rolling well into Spring, it gallops out the earlier blooms among the tropical waterlilies

Some hardy waterlilies cope quite well with the excessive lashings of 90°f

Even the most flimsy cantankerous persnickety awkward and genetically wonky tropical waterlilies can get going in the 70°-95°f groove

Given a position appropriate for their prima donna special needs
