Lilies are really starting to take off now!

Have about 8 - 9 buds up & just about to open in the next day or two.
Also, found these guys "playing leap frog"

Fishies all seem happy.

That is wanavisa, the lilies come up as different colors, some have ripples on the petals, some don't some deep color some light color. It grows great and blooms a lot.

Beautiful Lilies!!! I am so jealous. I can't fertilize mine because I cannot reach them (too deep and I don't feel like putting my head under pond water So the only fertilizer they get is fish poo....Some are blooming but a lot aren't

Pergola coming along. Should be done this week. Then it's gooood bye ugly net. This thing looks massive in person. Roughly 20x20

Ooohh! I LOVE that! That is going to be so serene when it's done.

That's a really nice patio pond for a small space! Can you get pics from further back so we can see how you constructed it?

They smell so good also!

I only fertilize mine once a year. Either when I groom them for the winter or move them them in the spring. I lift the lily out of the oil pan, dump in 1/4 cup osmocote and put the lily back in the pot. That is all they get. If I groom them ie. cut out tubers etc, they get the osmocote and a bit new kitty litter than.

I used to go in the pond lift the lily, stick in tabs every couple weeks and cut off old leaves , flower buds. Don't do either now.

I have to put my waders on and get in the pond to reach my lilies. I set them on the edge of the pond, then get out of the pond to work on them. It's easier putting them back into the pond, I just lay on my tummy and gently lower them into the pond.
