I have both tropical and hardy water lilies in my water gardens. And I do separate the hardies by cutting them or breaking them off from each other. The tropicals sometimes have babies forming on the leaves, but not last year. Instead I got all these seedlings apparently.

I wasn't sure what the heck those things were! LOL! Thanks for confirming what I suspected! I put all those babies in a bucket of water. Don't know where I am going to grow them all, but I am wondering if any of them produced a cross of two different waterlilies? Who knows, huh?

Can you believe all these babies. How the heck did they grow down in the roots of the mature water lily? Seriously! How could they produce leaves?
