Pool in the "Plants and People" Glasshouse, Royal Botanic garden, Edinburgh.

The other photo might not be Boulder, Colorado,
but maybe this is Colorado Springs. :o)

Wow....look at those lily pads!

Nice lily pads. I have a pic of some that get really big. I wonder if they are a similar type. How big were these David?

These are about three feet in diameter, Gardengem, as guessed by measuring by hand across the ones at the pool edge.

they're called Victoria regia, aren't they.... they can be truly huge...15 ft. ...across!... I love to have a pond big enough! LOL! (goes without saying)...and the greenhouse big enough to house the pond ...big enough to grow the lilypads that grow in the pond ...that's built in the house that Jack built...) lol. or something like that!

I believe so. Lori - that's a great comment, lol!
