Hello all, the flowers on my lilly are acting weird. After about a
day or so on the surface the stem starts to coil, like a spring, and
pulls it under water. It doesn't seem to ever come back up. What
causes this? and how can I stop it?
======================
That's normal for the hardy water lilies. Mine do the same thing.

Same concern here. Will they rot at the bottom of the pond?

========================
Yes, the flower, now pollinated, with rot under the water releasing the
seeds from the seed pod when they're ripe. I've never found baby lilies in
my ponds though.

Frugal ponding since 1995.
