If I had to identify one favorite feature in my garden, without even a close second it would be my beautiful pond. I have spent thousands of hours gazing into the pond with coffee, friends, children, garden tours, and evening coctails. Fish are so colorful swimming in and out of the tunnels I have created for them. I have 3 full grown koi and about 30 various kinds of goldfish. Garden plants provide shade for them in the summer and my yellow hardy waterlilly, ‘Joey Tomocik’, just bloomed this past weekend. I spent my time in the yard cleaning filters, waterfall and pumps to prepare for summer ahead. It is all a labor of love and an enjoyabe time in my pond in a bathing suite.
I have had the yellow water lilly return now for 3 years. The tropical lilies often come through the winter with less vigor year after year. The picture of the purple water lilly seeds offerd by Anazon are a tropical lily but very beautiful. I have grown it years ago.
