So here is where this stands I feel that I will be safe from hitch hikers because of it. On monday night all the Lilies were removed from the koi pond temporarily, quite the ordeal in itself as they were a rooted together mess. After we got them out we pumped the Koi pond down to about an inch or less of water so we could catch all the fish for a guy that came to get them. I then placed the Lillies back in the pond with only the inch or so of water to keep them wet until I can get them over to my place and can clean them up and put them in containers for this summer in my pond. Since monday night I believe we have had 3" of rain so they should be in 4-5 of water now.

My plan going forward is to bring them to the house and take them out of there pots and try and seperate plants as best I can, clean them off with a hose, and repot them in small containers for the summer and if all goes well put them in the pond dirt this fall.
