Water Gardening: What is this in my waterlilies?, 1 by Carolyn22

The last time I divided waterlilies, I tried to find homes for them and it was difficult, so they went into the compost pile. This year, I am involved in some of the plant swaps and so I did offer up divisions of waterlilies - a lot of people were interested, so I feel better about dividing them. DH and I ended up with 20 pots of WL because we didn't have the heart to pitch them before.

Here they are flowering.....I did not have as many flowers last year as in previous years. I am hoping it is because they need to be divided.
