koiguy, I'll have to watch when it's on next. You're quite the renaissance man...LOL!

I've seen many pictures of the Victoria lillies. I would imagine one would need to have an extremely large pond just to sustain such a large plant.

Please click pond pictures and then victoria on lower right hand side of screen. Don't know why the web page comes up to the main page.

Just thought I would post it as this is in Colorado Springs were I live. I did not know they would live in this dry climate.

I know! Not a problem Koiguy.

Tricker specializes in the Victoria and believe they have have a veriety they created that can handle colder water temps. The size of the plant can be controled by its container size so they can be planted in a smaller pond. With the thorns and all I'm not sure they would be so good for a koi pond but, I have thought about it.

you would certainly be able to fit one in your pond Airic
