Thanks Bill! I just finished reading the magazine cover to cover. I've got a question about one of the varities in the article. The picture of Mayla is stunning. I looked in the leaf spread chart for it, but I can't find it listed. Where does it fit? I really liked the article, it told me some things that I forgot, and the planting instructions were excellent.
Also, I have a yellow and a red lily from your pond, but I neglected to write down what varieties they are. Can you enlighten me?

I just placed my subscription order (plus some back issues), so I hope they arrive soon.
How do I get that nice little logo that says I subscribe?

esshup - I omitted the spread info for some of the lilies pictured in the article on purpose so readers would look up the info if they liked that particular variety. Mayla is a great bright, deep pink lily, and developed by K. Strawn in Texas. Just for you: spread for Mayla is 6-8ft, leaf size 8"-10", new leaves deep purple and undersides reddish purple, flower size 5"-6", number of petals 40. I normally have it growing so far up to 5 ft deep.
I pulled two red-pink lilies that day and I'm not sure which one you got. If your blooms are dark red then the red lily you got was called Almost Black, flowers 5"-6" and 38-40 petals, spread 3.5-5 ft, depth growing to about 4 to maybe 5 ft. Or if it is deep pink, it was a Perrys Fire Opal: flowers a deep pink color, leaf spread 4'-5', flowers 6"-7".
Yellow lily was a Yellow Queen with a lighter yellow color and big flowers 7"-10" and mottled leaves up to 12" dia. Leaf spread 4'-5'. Expect it to grow to depths of 5' and maybe 6'.

Thanks Bill. In fact, the lilies are just starting to produce a few flowers. I'll see if I can get a picture tomorrow. Should I pick the flowers so they can send more energy to the roots, or let them bloom?
Right now they are in 2' of water because the pond has dropped 14" since they were placed in the pond. Should I be moving them to deeper water a little every week until they reach the 4' depth? I'll make sure I shove them deeper than that for the winter.
The eelgrass had a bunch of algae growing on it, now I see new leaves shoting up from the soil in the trays.

esshup - I would prune the new flower buds for at least July and most of August. Maybe allow a bloom or two to occur in late August or Sept. This will allow the plant to use more energy establishing a real good root base. Growing depth for this summer can be 2'-3'. Overwinter them in 3' of water will be okay. If the planting tub is in 1-2ft of water when the leaves freeze, then just push the tub into 2.5-3ft of water for winter. At that time there may be a few new leaves still under water and rolled up which is okay during the winter period.

Thanks Bill. I'll take a camera out there, and if there are any blooms I'll take a pic before snapping them off. I'll check the water depth as well and shove them deeper if required.

Received and read mine yesterday! It was pretty cool to see a cover photo of a pond that I'd gotten a sunburn on while fishing less than a month earlier!...lol

Yeah, Greg, that's why we are not supposed to single out one person, right? I did note that YOUR article had sparked a lot of interest/comment on the Forum. And YES, I did think you were quite the scientist.

How long does it take to get your first issue once you sign up?

How long does it take to get your first issue once you sign up? Just like all things ponds, "it all depends". I think it depends mostly on whether the postman/postlady wants to read it before you or not.
