Hidden lillies

ff"

When I get home usually the lillies in the pond have closed up for the night. So it was great to come home early and WFH and see them open for once. In the pond in the rear garden the pink lilly is finally growing stronger and has two flowers at the same time now. In the front we have a mixture of white and yellow. In the height of summer the number of flowers on the pond can be amazing. The lilly pads are great as they cover the water and stop the blanketweed growing in the pond and making it look horrible. Lillies need little attention just pull off the dead heads when they are finished. Eventually this lot will need lifting and splitting up otherwise the pond will get very congested.
