water lily

Oh I love them, but they need a large pond dont they?

no DD. this is growing in a bath of water on our patio.

You've given me an idea Sandra - I could get one for my little pond. We went to Pembrokeshire for a holiday last month and stayed at Newport we really enjoyed it. Our hometown was in South Wales (Blaina)

you wernt far from me last week. i'm in Angle.
i was born in newport gwent...i visit family up by Blackwood, in Trinant.

I used to go to college in Newport Gwent, at Allt-yr-yn in the engineering department. I didn't know there was another one until we went to Pembrokeshire!

nor me Richard. i havent been to the newport down here..i've been close when i went to Ty Rhos trees. i will have to go there soon...

There's not a lot there Sandra, it has one main street, a few nice pubs where you can eat and it is quiet and a great place to relax by the sea front and just chill out. We visited a place nearby where they made all different welsh cheeses which was nice,you could have a taste of them before you bought them, so we bought a few different ones home with us.

yummy i love cheese....

I had understood that these need 32inches depth of water to bloom. It is sounding like that is not neccesarily true. I may try them yet.

this has about tweve inches of water...
