Do you have any of the voodoo lily bulbs left? I am new to the forum and I do not have a lot of plants or seeds for trade but I do have carpet coral plants and mother of a thousand plants to trade if you are interested. Thank so much

Hardy waterlilies become large plants in a few months and need a substantial weight of pot to root onto and anchor them. As small plants to start with, you want to keep an eye on them in a foot of water in case destructive grazing critters start destroying them. Koi, carp, ducks may wreck the roots and shoots, turtles may snip every stem and destroy the plant if it's out of sight As confidence in the plants progress continues, you can think about shuffling a well potted waterlily to what seems a suitable depth a foot deeper at a time. I don't see any point in planting them too deep if there is a convenient shallower depth to set them in as then they will be unrealistic to sort out if they become a problem in the future. A realistic depth being, how deep can you reach and still be able maneuver, chop, hack, wrestle a bulky large plant that may be well lashed to the bottom of the pond It's perty easy to wrap any suitable type of fertiliser in a small sealed plastic wrap and prod it below the crown, the point where shoots and blooms come up from. Poke a small hole so the water dissolves and releases the fertiliser slooow.

I have some Graziella hardies for postage only. This is a small to medium spread lily, changeable, small orange-red-yellow blooms. The leaves are olive green with purple or brown mottles. If interested, please do not post to the forum as I do not check it that often. Use my email address below. Jan2 madlmmdl@aol.com

I'm looking for a white hardy water lily with solid green leaves. I don't need a named lily. I have Parrot's Feather, Louisiana irises Spanish Ballet and Dancing Vogue, Water Hyacinth and Water Fern (the one that looks like a four-leafed clover). I also have 50 different named varieties of tall bearded iris, which look great around ponds.
