a water lily blooming underwater??? This one has been open for two days completely submerged. I've never seen that before.
And I have tons more blooms coming and leaving on holidays tomorrow!!!! I guess the neighbour will have to enjoy them.
Hope everyone is having a great summer!

I've seen it Glenda if you've just topped your pond with water). The leaves tend to reach for the surface much quicker than the flowers....while they are a water plant the leaves can't stand having water sit on top of them.
Lovely picture and flower. :)
HI Pam. Well, I haven't added any water lately as we finally got the leak fixed, so I guess it's just an anomaly. I have seen the leaves come to the top very quickly in other years when I have topped it up. I did repot quite a few of my water lilies this year, and am so pleased I did because the pads are so much bigger, and the amount of flowers is amazing. I have some that I didnt' do, so will defintely be doing those next spring!!!
Are you still sweltering out there??
I kinda figured you hadn't added water but.......I'd say it is a bit confused. ;)
Last night dropped down to 72 F so our house feels like it had A/C. :^)))) I got up at 6:00 am and shut all the doors and windows (DH is really ticked off at me since I disturbed the best sleep he's had in a month). :S Today we are supposed to hit 98 F but Wednesday the high is only supposed to reach mid 70's :)))))))))))))). Then it is supposed to go really high again.
I think you'll probably be better off with your hail insurance payout then what your crop might have yielded.
Yes, I think you're right about the hail insurance!!
Hopefully your weather cools down a bit. Glad you had a cooler night last night! We are hitting Lloydminster this week, possibly Eston later. I know my sister-in-law says the crops are burning up in Lloyd.
DH and I are not used to that heat anymore!!! I might be sitting in front of a fan the whole time I'm there!!!
Hey Glenda you passing thru Calgary or are you going the north route?
Sorry Carol, will be heading the northern route - Kamloops, Edmonton, Lloydminster. IF we go to Eston, it's south of Lloyd.
But if I am in Calgary, I will let you know!!!!
I'm thinking you should buy a portable A/C for this trip Glenda (it's really going to be a shock to your now Victoria adapted system ;). Be sure to bring a reinforced umbrella too (hail and severe weather warnings are showing up a lot on the route you are taking).
Oh great-and we're driving a convertible!!!!
Well, such is life!! We're off.
