Some of the fish are tropicals that are in the pond during the warmer months (black mollies, guppies and a pleco catfish). I bring them in otherwise they wouldn't make it thru the winter. There are some other fish that are 100% indoors (black neon tetras, mickey mouse platys, and adolphi cory cats). The pond's too big to heat (1,000 gal.). When I pulled the fish out in the fall the water temp was 50F! There are about 11 goldfish that overwinter in the pond.

I see fish in there!
How cold can they handle? Could you put a few strong aquarium heaters in the pond itself just to keep it from freezing? If that would even work...it would depend on if the lilies can take it even that cold.

The flower stalk grows to about 7 feet tall. Just to clarify, this is a picture I found, not mine. It takes 7 years if your lucky to get a flower stalk, but I don't have a safe enough place to grow the plant that big. I'd be to worried about neighborhood pets and children getting stuck in the plant!

I have had those too, but they were smaller as I recall. These really look to be E. ventricosum to me.

Thanks Tog. Just waiting for the water temp to get up to 60F! The pond is still frozen today, but they're forecasting 70s over the weekend. Still, these guys are inside until around May/June.
