Hi all, newbie here with a few questions
My red one ( don't remember the name) is not quite as proliferous as the
yellow one , but does bloom, just not quite as many and it is supposed to be "blood" red, but it is a bit paler than that and I figured it was because of the ~ 6 hrs of direct sun Gale :~) That would be ok unless you want BLOOMING water lilies as they like all day sun. I've read that some bloom with only 5 hours of sun. ==================== I have a yellow one that will bloom with that little sun but my whites, pinks and reds will not. -- Koi-Lo....

The ones behind my house got only 5 to 6 hours of sun as the summer progressed and the sun came overhead. I rarely saw a bloom on them. Perhaps I should have said "they very rarely bloom" than give the impression they don't have even one flower all season. My pinks did not bloom at all back there. Last summer my husband cut down a lot of the trees that were causing the shade so perhaps this year I'll get more blooms. :-) I wish I knew someone who wanted water lilies as I'm over run with whites and yellows. They're getting to be like zucchini's - you can't give them away! :-) -- Koi-Lo.... Frugal ponding since 1995. Aquariums since 1952.
