Newbie Questions
I bought one of those pop-up ponds, does anyone know how to get it to fill
up without collapsing? Or am I just going to have to use it as a liner for something else? I also have set up a small above ground container pond, about 25 gallons or so. I have put egg rock in the bottom and I plan to add a small fountain. What I need is a suggestion for a very small purple water lily. I have a small pot of horsetail and will be adding two louisianna iris and possibly a Japanese iris (all in pots). I did buy two of the small water lilies from the local Lowe's, a red and an orange one, which have very small leaves. I suspect it may take a few years for them to bloom but I'm not sure, does anyone have any experience with these? The pond has water in it and I have the pump and fountain ready to put in (as soon as the thunderstorms pass). It's situated in a spot that gets full sun most of the day and I don't plan on putting in any fish. I would like to put some kind of wall around it also. Any advice or information is appreciated Shell |

I thought when you filled them they sort of supported themselves on water tension? What I need is a suggestion for a very small purple water lily. I don't know of a purple hardly lily, but you can get pretty close to purple by looking at Tropical Lilies, and they do come in mini-varieties. Panama Pacific comes to my mind. ~ jan ~Power to the Porg, Flow On!~ |
They're supposed to but mine didn't.
Thanks for the water lily suggestion, I will have to check it out. Shell "~ jan JJsPond.us" wrote in message ...
