Peace Lillies doing well in our pond...
Just wanted to pass this along.. we got 3 peace lillies this year, around
easter time. You rinse off the roots, and thenwrap them around a rock or something heavy, so they don't float. Put them in the pond so the leaves stick out, and you should get blooms within a few months. I was told this, and 2 of the 3 in our pond have flowers now, and the third still looks very healthy. Supposedly, they are hardy, and survive winter with no problems. -- Gareee© Homepage: http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine.../mainframe.htm Custom Figures, Wallpapers and more! |

I've never tried them in the pond, but they are excellent for an indoor
ponsai too.  ) ~ janOn Wed, 11 Aug 2004 15:52:57 -0400, "Gareee©" wrote: Just wanted to pass this along.. we got 3 peace lillies this year, around easter time.

Cool. I always get excited when I see something new/different around the
ponds and I love seeing my little treefrogs where ever I might be working in the yard. ~ jan On Fri, 13 Aug 2004 18:20:43 -0400, "Gareee©" wrote: Went out to take the pics today, and found we now have a small frog inhabiting our pond now! ~Power to the Porg, Flow On!~ |
