      These were bought to add more interest to the overflow drain field of the koi pond
      that is like 7 weeks from small tuber to flower for the lotus, and 6 weeks for the same thing for the lily.

      It is amazing how fast plants will grow given free roam, warm temps, & sunshine.

      Is the lily a Leopardess?

      Those are Molly fry. They are in there to eat the mosquitoes.

      I have no idea what a leopardess lily is..It is supposed to be either red Flare or a Red day bloomer... Sometimes the young blooms are not dark red. So I am waiting. Since TS Andrea was overhead the color isn't washed out due to a bright Sun.
