Put in some more fertilizer, like 2 or 3.

It doesn't really surprise me that you don't have flowers yet in So.
Cal. especially if you are within 10 miles of the coast.

Once lilies build up a critical mass, they can fend of koi better (or
absorb), but individual shoots starting up one at a time have a long
road ahead of them... or should I say short road ahead.

When I can, I barricade my lilies in spring to early summer from the
koi. They also sell barrier nets that surround the pot at the bottom and
then rise up to a circular float ring on the surface.

Is the rhizome still solid and intact, any rot ?

Seems solid, but due to the act it got pulled out a month ago, I
replanted it in a larger pot with specific underwater soil (looks like
pink cat litter to me)


Water temp?

Seems allright. Don't have a thermometer, but we haven't had too many
hot days in Southern California. Also, I have a large waterfall, but it
doesn't disturb the surface too much.


Have you given it some fertilizer ?

A single Beckets pill a month ago.


Is this a concrete pond, what is the pH ?


PH is typical for So Cal tap water, a little high, but it is in a
plastic pond.

Thanks for any advice you can give

Carl
