Yes I forgot about the cycling of the water - one actually has to go through the pea soup algae stage before it clears up again. Sorry - my mistake.

That is sooooooooooooo pretty Carol!!! I'm so very happy for you! I have come to think that most color labels are inaccurate. For example there are so many flowers that are called blue, when they are really purple. I think that often happens with reds and pinks as well. But I do think this is a very pretty color either way!

Thanks Tamara--this is such a fun thing for me. I have wanted a lily pad since I was a small child---the flowers are just an added bonus.

on June 7th I had my 3rd water lily bloom--being a bit silly I thought to wait until my birthday to take a photo of it so it would have my B-day date stamped on it--well we all know how I got sick instead.--so no photo of my 3rd bloom sorry. so yesterday I got my 4th blooming.--and today I noticed a 5th bud just breaking the surface. below here is my 4th bloom: ![[Linked Image]](http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff68/JunieGirl_2007/4thwaterlily001.jpg)

Carol I love that . Was thinking of burying half a barrel an copy. But I hate mosquitos stuff. Might do it anyway next year. Arent the lily pods about 8 dollars to buy? What will you do in the winter? barb

What will you do in the winter? barb I have no facilities to keep it over winter--unless I put it in a aquarium. I think they are about that price but well so would a plant be right??? I have "mosquito dunks" in the water to kill the larvae--that and some type of spray that prohibits the mosquitos from landing on the water--- I think it is a fun idea, dodge.

Sorry guys - I don't know what to suggest for the barrel ponds other than to bring the plants indoors in an aquarium as Carol had mentioned before. I do belong to a ponding forum and can ask there for you to see what they might suggest.

This is what I heard back from a man named "pondman" in the ponding forums: "Lynne, if there is no green house, they can trim them right back and store them in containers/kiddie pools inside the house."

thanks Lynne for all the trouble--that would be easier to do. with them trimmed back I would think a smaller container, perhaps 2-5 gallon one would work ??? I do have a 5 gallon aquarium--I think I still have it so they just sit in the water all winter & go dromant ???
