The big pond is full of hornwort. The shubbies love it. I used the go pro to grab a short video, had it pointed a bit high, but still some decent views. Afterwards groomed the lilies, i.e. cut off leaves, added fertilizer, added kitty litter on those that were low.
One lily had jumped it's pot, you can see the leaves in the video on the left. It took all the strength I had to drag it to the side and get it out of the pond. And it had only a foot of roots out of the pot. Those suckers get heavy! Still had some beautiful buds on it, but sacrificed them, time to groom. I was actually surprised at the growth they did, definitely need dividing next year. They were ignored all summer, no fertilizer added, no grooming and they still did great.
Still have two other ponds of lilies to groom.
