Wow, some really great photos again, Addy. Loved the spider one with the egg and then the baby backpackers! And, your parrots feather is doing wonderfully! I can't wait for my mini/bowl lotus to bloom! Looks like any day now, started to open today. There are 2 more blooms next to it, but they are smaller, will be a while with them. I think I noticed this biggest bloom 2 weeks ago! Taking forever to open up, so hope it's worth the wait. The bloom looks like it will be maybe only 3-4" wide or so. I'm just happy I got one of the plants to live.

We share the plants colleen, the rabbits don't eat that much. I very seldom can see any signs of damage from them The babies hang in the yard the adults hang out around the edges or in the field, so they can get to the woods fast. They love the falling apples also.

Very pretty, Addy! I think lilies must really love fertilizer, too, as my lilies in the goldfish pond are really getting lots of yellow leaves, but in the koi pond, where I stuck those tree/bush pieces of fertilizer stakes, they are green and lush. Love your yellow lily! That's a color I don't have yet, and will get sometime in the future. :)

OK, I will! I'm trying to take pics and then make a drawing of which color lily is in what pot so I have at least a close idea of what I MIGHT be giving way come spring. :) Course, then I have to remember which pot was which when I take them out, too. Probably will be a give and guess again. LOL I do want to remember which ones have the dark pink and peach colored lilies from you, though, Addy, as those are my favorites. They look more "rich" in color! I like my others, too, yours are a different type. I see I have at least 2 peach ones, as I have one in each pond, so will have to see how many I have of the deep pink, but I think just one. I'll have to mark that one and separate it and then try to spread out the colors next year.

The peach colored are the georgia peach. The deep pink, if it the florescent pink, is a mayla
