$4.50 is real cheap, but if you get 8 flowers all season, thats a high
cost per flower.

I bot one of those $4.50 lillies and it has been putting up flower after
flower
from about the 3rd week I put it in the pond.

=============================
I can't see how anyone can claim a healthy hardy lily, in the sun, potted in
good clay soil and well fertilized would only produce 8 blooms per season.
That's absurd. My Wally-World cheapos have been blooming since shortly
after I potted them up. The best bloomer is that orangy, yellowish, pinkish
mini. What a little beauty. Had I know these were mini's I would have
bought several more for my water barrels. I know I saved the packages they
came in but cannot find them. :-(

I purchased 2 hardy lilies for $1 each from Lowe's last fall. They
survived the wintering and have produced flowers, 8" - 10" diameter
leaves and are thriving! This year, Lowe's here in Springs did not
carry any water plants. Bummer!

They have miniature water lillys that regularly sold for $1195 listed
at $4.50. Regular sized lillies listed at 9.95 now 3.50 and the
horsetail and other assorted marginals are 2.10. These are the ones
that come prepackaged in a plastic container with a plant basket etc
inside the plastic container (basically the bubs) not a bad deal if
your local Lowes has them in stock yet and have them discounted)
