I bought it last summer. It had one bloom soon after I bought it, but not yet this year. Around here, they bloom in late June, July I think. We too are working on the water quality. I regret that we did not install a commercial filter when we built our pond. We were told that if the ecosystem is balanced, we wouldn't need one. Unfortunately, it is too close to several deciduous, blossoming trees and the falling debris is too much for us to keep up with.
