Hi and welcome to GP!
My koi never bothered my Lilies until last year! They nibbled on it so much it actually died!
This year I didn't even bother putting one in the pond, but I will definitely give it another try next year!

I think maybe lack of food act like this , but they eat too much..in babies pond doesn't have problem..

I dont think we can ever fulfill there hunger in warmer climate , if i feed them every 60 min they will eat again . can be reason they eat plants they become hungry alot in warmer climates

yes it's true my friend this is first time I plant lily , some times i noticed bigger fishes looking badly for small amount of food even on leaves surface ....

I love your pond too much it's a "part of heaven" @cas

I like your edging are they made of clay ?

No they made by cement

Koi call this... "a salad bar"... which is too small for koi at a 100 gallons as some said above.

What is your daily temperature like ? Is it the same year round ?

The snipping on Rock's waterlily looks suspiciously like some blame shifting sneaky little turtle has got into the pond
