Our pond produced another viviparous lily baby. This time, we found

about right doesn't it?

Yes, but I didn't think that was viviparous... and I didn't think hardies
do viviparous. But, looking it up the word viviparous: producing seeds that
germinate on the plant. So I guess so. :-)

The previous baby gradually sank to the bottom of the pond (as do old
flowers). Makes sense as well. Produce a baby, start the roots,
lower it to the bottom to take hold.
