Awe how cute. I love turtles.

About a month ago I was *really* jazzed, we had a female Spotted Turtle
in the yard! This is our little visitor. I guess I can expect to see
her for years to come.

We named her Daisy. Spotted Turtle seemed so impersonal. ;-)

On first viewing turtles can seem rather
more like moveable boxes than adorable
critters but they really do have personalities
and Lily is now the undisputed Queen of the Pond.

(We're not sure where Her Royal Highness The
Lady Bullfrog went but she will be standoffish for
months at a time..... I think I'm seeing a trend start
here with the royality names. I suppose the koi could
be court jesters and the goldfish the serfs.)

You can find a picture of Lily archived in the blog.

I feel a bit left out. Can I use my friend's pond? I'll only use the
one with the goldies in it. Otherwise, I'm thinking that his 14 ponds
would be a shoe-in for blooms. ;-)

14 ponds get categorized under lake. Looks like we'll have to try this
contest on a weekend when more RPers have time to go check out their ponds.
So Saturday (7/16th) at high noon, the 2nd Lily contest begins! ~ jan

We need a little competition in here that is actually POND related.

So, tomorrow morning after the lilies open, you are to go out and count
each one and supply the name and how many blooms (if more than 1). There
will be 2 winners. 1 for whoever has the most lilies open and 1 to whoever
has the most different varieties (and can give their names) open. ~ jan

So I had three blooms on marliac chromatella. One of the blooms was
rather ratty, on it's last day.

Can I count floating heart, or only true _Nymphaea_? ;-)
For some reason, my lilies are sulking. Probably need fertilizing, and
less current.....

In yesterday's contest it looks like Gary won for total blooms in the Lake
division and ~ jan won most varieties in the pond (under 5,000 gallons)
division.

3 days to next contest, so go out and inform your lilies. Have a discussion
with them! A serious discussion! ~ jan

I had 91 today, and that was just the white ones. 11 red or pinks and
14 yellows.
