I'm WAY down this year! Before I re-did the pond for koi (which didn't work out) the bottom was totally covered with them. Building up again, slowly.

I had seven last year, but I left two on the shelf over winter and they didn't make it. Still have the five main plants, though.

I'm at 5 but one that I split two seasons ago has still not fully recovered and is now in a separate container pond to try to let the few leaves it produces stay unmolested. I also discovered I have two of the same one and will be giving one away right away. Now that most of mine are maturing I am really needing the space.

Seven pots and no room for more! Oh, wait... 8! I have one in my patio pond, too! I just love all the pretty colors!

I started out with 3, thinking the pads would cover & cool the water, but ended up adding a 4th. And as hot as it's been this year, next year I might add a 5th! At least with the plastic milk crates, I'm not losing much water volume and the fish have plenty of places to hide in or explore.

10 or 11 in big pond, 4 in stock tank pond,1 in stream pond, 2 in 1st loop pond, 2 in second loop pond, 1 in deck pond....think that is all. One reason I have so many tubers to share when I divide them.

Just counted via camera, 14 in big pond

Oh, I thought we were only counting the ones in the POND! I have seven mature plants in a LARGE tub (for sale), as well as about 20 small plants in several smaller tubs, waiting to put on some size. Do they count?

None in my outdoor pond, the water just doesn't get warm enough. End of July and the water temperature is 59F.
1 in my indoor "pond"
