Carol, Do you have a Dollar Store nearby? I have about 10
$1 pots that look like a wash basin. Perfect for lilies.
============================
Yes Nedra, we have one of these stores down in town. I will definitely
check them out on my next trip to town. I think I know the low basins you
mean. Sometimes Big Lots here also have them for $1.19 or something like
that. Thanks for reminding me.

mine do fine across from the waterfall. the water is undulating, I am
sure there is
spray on the leaves. but it isnt chlorinated water like from a sprinkler.
I only have solid containers, no slits, no holes and my lilies do great.
my limiting
factor is sunlight and space, so I only have two lilies. this year looks
like I am
moving one of them to my mother's pond since my texas dawn is so huge.

===========================
We have plenty of sun but I also had to give away one HUGE monstrous white
water lily 2 years ago. It took over 1/3 of the surface of the 2000 gallon
pond. It was just overwhelming. The lady who took it had a 5,000 gallon
pond and loved it.

Being a cheapo DIY'er I use whatever I can get my hands on cheap. My
potting
contianers range from recycled pots that I have bought landscaping in, to
a
stack of waste baskets I found last year for a few cents a piece at a
local
gadgets, crap you don't need and beyond store. As for media, I use a
mixture
of pea gravel and larger rocks for all of my plants.
==========================
I am also a bit frugal and buy most things on sale or dirt cheap at flea
markets whenever possible. I remember seeing cheap low solid plastic porch
pots in several stores recently. I'm going to hunt them down and soon! All
were under $1.50 but I didn't think I'd use them for anything at the time.
I think my lilies will love them. :-)

===========================
Today I dug out a bunch of old kitty litter pans an old roommate left behind
years ago. I had tossed them on a shelf in the outbuilding. They were
still in excellent shape so I used them to plant waterlines in. :-) The
price was right.

It was suggested to me that i drive around the night before bulk trash
pick up and i'd be amazed at what i could find. #1- I would be
embarrassed to go through others' trash, and #2- I am blind as a bat
at night.

Then you're next best bet would be to try the Dollar General and Big Lots
stores.
