Should have my first lilly bloms any day now.....

Have a few lillys, one in particular that is growing like a weed.
Seems like every day its sent a new leaf up, and not it has a bloom
about 2 inches below th water surface......Its name is Charles Choise,
deep dark red center, fading to light pink and white on th outer
edges, small leaves approx 3 or 4 inches in diameter.......Also have a
few red and some yellows that have some buds coming up and are close
to breaking the surface as well..............water temps been holding
in the low 70's for awhile now...from the shore to about 3 feet of
depth. Even the sensitive fern has bloomed, and my water snow flakes
have flowers.


Today I dyed the pond, as I have been having approximately 4 feet or
better of good clear visibility, since I dosed it with PP and then a
few days later added the baraclear. Its been about 10 days to 2 weeks
since I added the baraclear-80, and the water has never been nicer.
Hopefully the dye will do its job again this year like last year and
my algae blooms will be minimal. Since I added close to 24 inches more
depth since rasining the spillway, the water quantity has increased a
lot, since I added basically 2 feet of water over an acre+ in surface
area,so the blue dye is not as pronounced this year as last year, but
its still a decent look.
