Still no aerials here, but I now have 3 buds in one pot and 2 in the other
coming up. The pads on the surface are finally showing some width, both
have a pad 5-6" diameter, but nothing close to BV's monsters. First bud is
now a little bigger than the size of a ping pong ball. ) ~ jan

Not to add insult to injury...but...I now have two aerials and 3-4 new
leaves coming up on the surface. My largest leaf at about 24 inches was
nearly destroyed this weekend by my sister-in-law's brain damaged dog whom
thought he could walk on the duckweed like the frogs. I lost that 2 foot
leaf, and 2 flowers on my peach lily. On a lighter note, the white lily
flowered this morning, and appears to have another bud coming up.
