I have over 100 blooms every season.
Anyway, I've had this plant for about 10 years now, and when it starts
to get out of control, I just hack part of it off and give it to
friends who have ponds. People sometimes shudder when they hear about
how roughly I treat my lilies, but these plants are tough as hell, so
I don't worry about them. They are just beautiful year after year
with almost no special care.
=================
Surely your lilies are rooted into the rock and feed on debris down at the
bottom. My lilies are in rubber lined ponds that are cleaned out at least
every other year. There isn't much to root into on the liners. And for
added interest I move the plants around a little each spring. I have
little
choice but to grow them in some kind of pots.

My pond is rubber lined and I just let the lilies go. They form a large root
mass in the bottom. I cleaned it out a few years ago but don't even bother
now (welll.... I am considering it this year) Could be mine jump the pots
because I don't feed them much, but they grow and bloom just fine.
