There is a pond we have worked hard on this past spring, no lilies in it tho (I do have a small little rubbermaid thing that has a white lily in it tho, just no blooms yet) It could be the ugliest thing, for all I know, but I would be so tickled LOL. The leaves are beautiful for about a day, then they start to curl up out of the water a little, and burn. I probably should do a bit more shade for it.
We are fighting algae something fierce in the pond, and I keep suggesting adding more floaters. It gets about 4-5 hours of sun. As far as the co-op goes.. OMGosh, I have looked over it again and again LOL, but for the floaters, with shipping, its just as cheap to get them locally.
We do have some great rocks here in Colorado, but to get them legally, I think there is a permit or something needed. The rocks were just bought. LOL its been said a few times... "this is the most expensive 100 dollar pond ever". Everything adds up quickly LOL. We were lucky enough to get some flagstone from my Grandfather's homestead in Wyoming.
I should get an updated picture of it, but here it is about 3 weeks ago.

Here is the pond
