I had obtained a tropical lily called a Dauben, and was told it is
quite self adjusting, so much that it will only grow so large in a
small aquarium or container or if placed in a pond it could also get
to about 6 or more feet in spread.....I had it planted in a 29 gal
tank, and its bloomed a few times now, and yet this plant only has
leaves about as large as a half dollar or so, and the smallest lily i
have ever seen..its really a mico lily.... The water depth is whatever
the standard 29 gal tanak is, 16" or so, and its planted in the
gravel.

Today I was told that all a Madagascar lily is which is very popular
with aquarium enthusists since it stays so small, is that the actual
lily called a Madagascar Dwarf is in all reality a Dauben.........I
paid $15.00 for the Dauben,, but fish shops want $40+ for a "Madagasar
Dwarf Lilly".........

This lily would look super in a basin sized water feature or some
other small container.

I have two other tropicals this year planted and doing fine, aPanama
Pacific (purple in color) and a Albert Greenberg which is a yellow
pink bloom, both of which are day bloomers.....The Dauben is a light
sky blue in color

I may get another Dauben and plant it in the large pond.......I have
seen em before in ponds full size and you would never believe they
were the same lily
