Water Lilies

  With the strong sunlight and regular fertilising, my lilies are thriving and blooming.  Lilies spread out in a circular fashion from their rooting point or pot. My current lily pond which measures 4m x 1.2m is considered too small and small leaves are actually sticking out from the sides of the pond

I have two varieties in my pond.

This is a large flower, each petal measuring about 60 cm. It opens up nicely under strong sunlight and closes up when it gets shady or cloudy.

This variety flowers almost non-stop. Buds are constantly pushing up from under the water. You get one flower per day. The flower is about half the size of the other variety but the colours are more vivid.
