it was around 5-6" in diameter. It only lasted a few days, then a second one came up. That's been all for now- who knows when it will bloom again? Especially if the fish don't stop nibbling at the edges of the lily pads!

one side does look a little dried up, although I did take the photo on its second day of existence. Is the sun in Tucson hot, you ask?

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing the beauty with us.
I don't have any pure white ones like that. or that big, hardies tend to be smaller.
