Regular Member blackmoors Posted December 4, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted December 4, 2014 I've had lilies in my pond for some time now. And most seem to hibernate in winter (lose their pads etc) Except I have one that has its lily pads all year round? its been getting bigger and bigger every season (number of pads and area of pond it covers) I have other lilies that develop flowers and they appear to almost float on the surface. Yet this year round lily? has flowers that sit several inches above the pond surface. is it a lily? Or is it something else? How do I find out? (No tag on the pot. Actually had a totally different plant in pot when I bought it. So someone forgot it was in the pot??) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member goldfishfanforever Posted December 4, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted December 4, 2014 That's a lily but it may just be a different type of Lilly to your other ones 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member blackmoors Posted December 4, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 4, 2014 Ok. Yeah wasn't sure as the flowers are about 4 inches above the surface. And the lily pads are there all year round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member JustRachel Posted December 4, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted December 4, 2014 It looks like a true water lily to me. Are the leaves on stalks or stems? (looks like they're on stems to me) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member blackmoors Posted December 4, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Leaves as in the pads? I have noticed the stalks or stem or what ever is alot thicker than that of my other plants Edited December 4, 2014 by blackmoors 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member JustRachel Posted December 4, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted December 4, 2014 Sorry yes I meant pads ???? it has too big a spread for the lily I had in mind :S But it closely resembles my lily which is a "true" water lily besides the flowers. Mine dies back in winter, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member blackmoors Posted December 6, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thanks. Yeah it's probably the only benefit of summer lol Always look forward to what will pop up. Pinks whites or yellows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Daniel Posted December 6, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Really pretty lily. It looks kind of like Nymphaea St Louis Gold to me. Edited December 6, 2014 by dan in aus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member blackmoors Posted December 6, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 6, 2014 I'll Google that lol. Do they keep their pads all year around? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member blackmoors Posted December 6, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 6, 2014 Looks very much like that one. Although it says summer to winter. Mine must just be a freak.. lol as I have lily pads all year. But only flowers in summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
