I got given a water lilly form a friend and it was so large i divided it
into 4 pieces and placed 2 pieces in each of my small ponds on with fish
and filter one without and both on different sides of the garden. All
parts are now flowering but the one in the pond with fish produces pink
tinted flowers and the other one is producing yellow flowers. Is this
normal behaviour or have I got a strange lilly?

thanks

=================================
I've never heard of this happening. I suspect fertilizer and other things
have some impact on color. Some of my WLs are a darker color in one pond
over another. They don't change from yellow to pink, or white to yellow
when divided and set in different ponds/pools. All are from the same group
of plants I bought at Wal*Mart and Lowe's.

Make sure of which Cracklin' you're replying to - the TROLL from

Could the plant be a Nymphaea 'Sioux' or something similar that will
have different coloration

It's quite normal for the 'changeable' types of water lily, which
through will go through lemon, yellow, orange, red and crimson tones as
they develop and fade. Could be any of Chrysantha, Comanche, Indiana,
or Sioux.

These don't change the new buds open and fade the same colour.

The mystery continues

That's what I understood you to mean. I have one mini water lily that has
those blooms that change color over the several days they last. All the
other lilies stay the same until the blossom dies. But the blossom may be
slightly different colors in the different locations I keep them in.
