This morning, after a month away up in Tuysonvien, I was so happy seeing these blooms greeting me.
There's a surprise, however, as the shoots I threw into the pond were from the lavender waterlily but the blooms I have now are white! What happened? Could the soil in the pond has some kind of chemicals that changed the color of the lily?
Anyway, white is so much more unusual so I'm not complaining. Also, both the blooms and the plant in the pond are much bigger and more healthy looking than those planted in the containers in the back yard.
Many friends have said gardening can bring many pleasant surprises, how true!

These yellow waterlilies are so pretty! Definitely a pleasant surprise :-D How I wish it happens to me. Oh, fish ate up the leaves? Luckily the plant manage to survive. Enjoy the blooms! I think the blooms could last for some time ;-)
Steph, the blooms are actually white, not yellow. They normally last for about 4 or 5 days, opening in the morning and closing at the end of the day repeatedly.
