Wow nice pond Dax!
Mothermole- i just got this lily from the nursery because of how big it was, tag just says Nymphaea tropical 'Magenta'. Another flowers opened.
I have alot of smaller hardy lilies sitting in my greenhouse in ice cream containers of water i have to pot them up. We have very sandy soil here though and ive been told not to use potting mix esp. in a small pond with fish.
Any ideas on what mix i could use?
