    You’re so good you sizzle!
    Have a pond do you….well lucky you! Most of us common folks have to travel to get beautiful shots like this.

  • LjMaxx replied

    Hi Von.. You sizzle twice as much… :) Yes.. My property has a man made water source on it. A dedicated acre for nature only.. Never to be built on or sold.. Love that! This year I put a handfull of water lilys into it for added atmosphere for all the animals to enjoy as much as I did.. Downside.. They have to be removed for winter.. Yikes… cold water.. lol.. Thanks for the fine comment too…...

    Beautiful Tropical waterlily LJ, you might try some hardy varieties,, much less trouble and insexpensive but they can be invasive, some care in choices is needed! I have a yellow that I’ve had for over 20 years.

  • LjMaxx replied

    You can tell this species was a new one for me aye? lol.. They do seem like some extra work … I shall look for a hardy variety next round.. I like if they multiply alot.. Its a decent sized pond area.. Can handle a bunch of the,, How pretty would that be,,, Humm.. got me thinking now Jade.. Thanks for commenting too.:)

    Now talk about something invasive, there are at least 20 acres of wild lotus growing near my boat house. As for invasive waterlilies, check the online catalogs for watergarden or pond supplies and find one you like , they ship easily, but probably not now until spring! Chuck, we’ll talk!

    A beautiful lily and I really like the idea of a dedicated acre of personal nature reserve. MY pond is 3×5 – feet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But the blasted fish like it. I got a lily from a neighbour not knowing it had fish eggs on it. Sad, I would much rather have had dragon & damsel flies…..........
    It’s a beautiful photo of a gorgeous flower.
