I'm definitely gonna try. I even set up a trade here in Romania. Gonna have my own water lily. YEY!
Nice blooms. IS that... we call it water hyacinth?
NICE!

 

Those are drop-dead gorgeous! yes... please tell us what they are.

Calin... can't wait to see water lily you grow.

 

thankyou! yes, they are water hyacinth. the blooms only lasted that day but I got good pictures

 

Hi Chubby,
methinks you have green fingers!,..lovely flowers all,..and well captured water hyacinth's.

 

Philip... her fingers aren't only green... they're wet too! :-D

 

why thanks guys now only if i had the money to keep up with my little green hobby i wouldnt be in so much trouble

Nice going,..i guess its those watery green fingers!,..you are doing very well.

 

Yay!!!!!! :-D Good for you. Your Water Hyacinth was beautiful I have not been tempted to try water gardening , but you are making me think about it. I already have the liner, I have just never put it in. Since we have a gazillion pieces of heavy equipment, I could probably have it done in a minute. My son and husband could even do the wiring for the electric pump. I'm thinking about it.

 

I think I may be as excited as you are to see that first bud! Can't wait to see it showing off!

And Carolyn... go for it! It doesn't have be anything large scale. I bet you'll like it

 

i know i cant believe its producing a flower already its only been a couple weeks! whats funny is after it got dug up by the ki and i replanted it i havent really done anything but go out and check on it. i havent been able to in about a week (bc of the new baby) so im thrilled i didnt miss it!

 

Two new babies, huh? :-D

 

lol yep

 

I love your little porch water garden. Your water lily seems to like it's home, and the water hyacinth is very pretty.

I've ended up with a water garden too. My two precious girls brought frog spawn home. My husband had a tub dug down just that day, so we had a home for the frog spawn but no plants for them, so I went out and bought one. It's a floater called Hydrocharis. Then my mother bought herself a yellow water lily which lives in a tub on my veranda since my mother doesn't have a pond (even though she's always wanted one, and a water lily). I guess I've got a lot to learn about them.
