    My water lily hasn’t been doing super well in my little 150L pond, probably not enough sun and space. The pot is also taking up too much swim space.

    It’s a lovely indigenous species, would be a pity to land up on the compost heap!

    Collection Rondebosch.

    Wish I was in SA!
    I am planning a new pond. And these would be great for it

    We are coming to the end of summer :(
    Either I do it now, or wait until next spring. Am wavering between the options
    (Apologies - will start my own thread in due course)

    That should be a fun project! Keep us posted :thumbup:
    In your climate I’d probably wait for spring?

    It’ll block too much light I’m afraid
