Our first lilly flower in our brand new pond should be fully open by
the time I get home today!!!! (Thank you Walmart for the $2 pond
lilly plants that are growing like mad!)

Or it may have opened and closed by the time you get home.
Many
lilies are only open for a few hours a day. If you work regular
hours 8-5 you may never see them bloom during the week -
only on weekends :-(

You are SOOOO right. It was 80% open when we got home and then while
working on the pond my wife asked me if they closed up because the
flower was shutting. I did not know if it did so it taught me a
lesson last night. Hope it lasts a while - don't know how long the
flowers last. We have more comming up too - should be white, red and
yellow. Too cool. Time to take pictures.

I got my first bloom this week as well. Each night it closes and reopens. I
have two more on the way. How exciting.

Another flower appeared today. I saw the 1 st open this morning, but
they don't seem to stay open very long. Do the blooms last a long
time?

Once they Titantic, slip under the surface, snip them off as close to the
crown as you can. ~ jan
