![]() Vickie- sorry, Bob's humor derailed me. Those are beautiful pics of some gorgeous lilies. I am so bummed that my Avalanche and Foxfire did not make it through the winter even though I had them in a tank inside. Oh well, I'm glad I at least have the Black Princess. Maybe I should get a yellow next...hmmmm.

![]() Salty my Avalanche tuber did not sprout this year. My Foxfire did, I save the tubers and store them for winter. If no tubers I try to cut the plants smaller and put them in aquariums. I put them in aquariums with lights heater and filters and fish. I have some succes on wintering them over in aquariums.

My pond is approx. 1,000 gallons. Its rock lined over the liner, and has a waterfall to a 6 ft. stream in to the pond. Depth in the deep part is 2 1/2 to 3 ft.Have around a dozen fish in total, mostly goldfish (sarassa, calico, and fantails), 3 small butterfly koi and about a dozen fathead minnows. In the pond I have growing currently....1 hardy lily, 1 lotus, Pretoria canna, Thalia dealbata, Colocasia esculenta Illustris, Lobelia cardinalis, calla lily, parrot's feather, dwarf umbrella, Sarracenia pitcher plant. I have lots planted around the pond, but as they're not in a bog, they're regular trops and semi trops. There are pics in my gallery and my Flickr and Webshots pages. I love my pond! edit- here's a small pic of the pond.

![]() Salty I love your pond. I can see why you love your water garden. Mine are a way to relieve my stress. I don't have any pitcher plants. I have seen them. In the fall it is quite a job to put all these plant up for the winter. I have about 59 different tropical water lilies. And many tropical plants both land and water.
