Earlier in April I reported taking a large
hardy water lily out of its pot, dividing it,
and leaving it out of the pot. (The other
half went into another small pond.) I
had put a stick fertilizer in among the
mess of roots but otherwise it's a free-
floating water lily.

Leaves kept growing, and now I have a
flower bloom. Apparently this particular
hardy water lily doesn't require soil to
function.
