Default water lilies

This has been such a cool summer that I haven't gotten in the lily pond to
feed them again. When I divided in April I used a big rose spike, about 3-4
times bigger than the usual tom spike. So far most keep on blooming.

Water temp is in the low to mid-70's.... I like it a lot warmer than that
or my calf muscles seem to spasm up. ~ jan
