      They are awesome. I have wondered about you from time to time. I am glad you are still growing the tropical lilies. Do you still have all your ponds it's nice too see you again.

      Thank you. Still have most of my ponds. One of the wood ones got destroyed by bugs & finally failed. Another the liner leaked, so I lost the majority of my tropicals due to pond failure, neglect, & unusually cold winters. Have enough plants left to keep me busy though. Maybe next year I can offer up some trades to get some lost favorites back.

      Thanks. Here are a few more. Wrong time of day to take pics because of the glare but did it anyways. The mystery blue is unknown until I can get better pics of the bloom/pads.

      Kat, you are back!? I have missed seeing your ponds. I was thinking that everyone got older and could no longer keep up the hobby and so retired their ponds.

      I have not had blooms in years... struggled with lily eating tadpoles and a pond weed that has been difficult to get rid of competing for light and space.

      So it's nice to see blooms again, even if they are not mine. 😁 Looking forward to when you have extras for sale again.

      Sort of back LOL. Lots of cleaning up to do in order to get them back into shape. It is already too hot here to do a lot. Maybe next spring I will be able to get more done & ship a few plants. Sounds like you've had quite a few challenges, too. I think a heron delivered a weed that floats in the water & tangles in the lilies. So I can understand your misery.

      I'm pretty sure this is a volunteer seedling. The pads are green & kind of rumpled. I moved the lily to a different spot & the stem dried out. So the bloom is inside now. Pretty color at least.

      They bring me a lot of joy!
      Many Thanks!

      Thanks for sharing pics! Mangkala Ubol blooms & blooms all summer long. I notice bees hanging around my lilies in late summer.

      Steve is the second pic of Joanne Pring? Need to get mine divided & fertilized.

      I bought them from Frank years ago but lost the name tags. All I know is they're hardy since they survive Washington's
      winters!

      Yours are amazing!
