Rita, I like your "cool, easy growing Philo" and really like the plant that's behind it in the picture, with the white blazes on the leaves. What's that??

I'm enjoying the little lotus, but I must admit it's not a generous bloomer for me. Only because of the site of my pond, where it doesn't get more than about 3 hours of sun a day, which isn't really enough for the lotus to bloom well. We also often get clouds in the afternoons here, which further reduces Baby Doll's sun time. I'm going to grow some in a mobile tub next summer, so I can move it around to get sun all day. I'll still keep some in my pond, as I love the leaves, too.

The flowers keep their crisp cup-shape and last for several days, too.
