I've had that feeling about Georgia too, but because some things grow
so well they cover others and the others require so much attention to
keep them healthy that I try to find and keep the plant that takes
care of itself. Lilies are great for shade in the pond, but I
consider them a "0" for filtering since I fertilize the pots to get
good blooming performance. I tried a tropical lily one year and it
was large and beautiful and grew well during the growing season, but
too much trouble to over winter for me to want to keep them.
