I got up this morning to my 1st water lily bloom. I know this is a cheapo lily but I think it is beautiful.

my 1st bloom
Cheapo nothing! It is beautiful! Didn't you just plant those???
Bad seed, We put it in the pond on the 18 of July.. next door planted one a week or more before ours & she doesn't have any buds that I can see. Her water isn't as clear as ours. She has a much larger pond.. ours is just muck buckets *G*

We have a SMALL pond to put in if we ever get well enough to do it (think that will be when it turns cooler *LOL*)We will move the lily when the pool is in as the bucket is kinda small for it.
This is the latest pix of the water garden.

I love it, and I don't think there are 'cheapo' ones either, they are all beautiful.
Well Sugar! You are truly a proud ponder now...muck buckets and all and soon you will be wanting to expand your horizon! LOL
Glad to see all is doing well!

Seedpicker, we have a 52 gallon (ok still small) pond waiting to be put in.. neither of us have felt good lately but feeling better so the digging should be done soon. Yes, we have plans for next spring to put in another pond.. a larger one but still small in some eyes. I put a few little plants I had around the buckets but still waiting for some I have been promised & sent the postage for. There is supposed to be some I can plant outside the pond too.
I want to thank EVERYONE for the kind comments. This water gardening is all new to us. We are tickled pink with the lily bloom ... sorry bad joke *LOL* :)
go_vols hang in there the bloom is worth the wait.

Sure doesn't look "cheap" at all. And who cares about $$. So long as you like it, cost doesn't mean anything. It's very pretty indeed!! "T" :)
