Mmmm... Looks very pretty. How big and what about hardiness?

 

Thats a good pink one miraflores.
Mine, its not pink its supposed to be red, but I think its more pink than red.
Its "attraction" starts out pinkish at the beginning of the season and futher flowers become more red.

 

Or this one "Sulphurea odorata", its a small grower but likes warm conditions I find, to flower well.
Although its completely hardy if submerged.

 

Is this last years' bloom or this years' if you tell me its this year' I am moving house :D

 

Who, me?
Mine is last years, about July/August time.

 

They are very nice, pete

 

This is mine which is quite a small variety so does not take over the whole pond. Unfortunately I don't know its name.

 

I don't know your name either, but, still, you are a nice squirrel!
And, beautiful nymphea, by the way

 

What lovely lillies you all have.
A 'NEIGHBOUR' bought us one for our pond. I tried to tell tham not to bother, :rolleyes: but they said it enhanced the value of their property with the view of 'our garden and pond' and they insisted. They bought round said waterlily and we 'had' to have a planting 'drinkypoos' . Our ducks ate it whilst we were having our 'drinkypoos', then knocked it into the centre of the pond. 12' down, never to be seen again. We haven't seen the neighbours since either. Rumour has it that it's because we have very 'rude' ducks.
