Carol,

How do you secure the netting to the lily pots?
All ideas are welcome

========================
I use that green plastic covered garden wire that comes on a roll to tie
tomato plants to stakes. It comes with a snip to cut it to the lengths you
want. I buy it at Wally World's garden center. I take a large piece of
leftover netting and set the plant on it, then just sort of bag it up and
use the wire to hold it closed. The closed part being offset to the plant
grows through the net. On large lily pots I cut a piece to cover the top
only and use the same wire to secure it around the edge, about 8 pieces of
the wire. This wire will last over a year underwater.
