It is called Attraction.

Tracey very nice, if my kois were in your pond they would have a picnic with your lilie leaves. :yesyes:

[tracey_shafer]

If there were koi in that pond, that lily would be toast or should I say salad :phfft:

[Jackie Ramo]

My attraction is 3 leaves.... don't know what happened to it this year and it is not the koi either.

[philly]

Could be anything as your white lily is doing quite fine even flowers a lot. :yup:

[Jackie Ramo]

That white lily is a monster and needs to be thinned again... I took most of it out last year, I think it just made it grow more.

[philly]

That tells you it's very healthy and hardy maybe it's Canadian born. :HAHA:

[Jackie Ramo]

Maybe Phil, it isn't the wild one though

[philly]

How far down in the pond is that white lily planted ? :)

[Jackie Ramo]

4 feet deep,it is always the first up and the the first to bloom. Finally see a couple of buds on the ones in the totem pond.

[philly]

Great, next time you split it I would like a cutting, if it's that hardy it's worth having a plant even if it's just white flowers only. I like the fact that it will grow from the bottom of the pond, how do you feed that lily at 4' down ? :)

[Jackie Ramo]

I never feed it Phil. Here I was excited that I had buds in the totem pond... guess which ones they are??? You can take it home with you when you come.

Gee that lily must be a hybrid no food and it grows that well even in deep water. :yup:
