The void is the path less traveled. Most of these people have just given up. I can't have water lilies because...
My pond has a severe drawdown.
I can't have water lilies because...
I have rock or riprapped shorelines down to 7-8 feet.
I can't have tropical water lilies because...
The water temperature in my pond goes below 60F.
I don't perform miracles, I just don't believe in not trying or can't. It might be difficult, it might not even work, but I will try. And the more you try, the harder you try, the more often you are rewarded. And when you succeed, you can expand on that success.
But the best part of all, everyone benefits. My lily supplier sells more lilies. I sell more lilies and most of all the customer gets to have something they want that they have been told they cannot have. It is a sweet set up for me because they have very low expectations to begin with. They have been spoonfed absolutes that are not.
Sadly my business is going less and less fish, more and more aquatic plants. But I go where the business is. And in California the small private pond stocking business is just about done. But the lilies are a lot of fun. Challenges abound and demand is very high. Opportunities to expand are everywhere. Drawdown strains are bank. You just go harvest the plants when they are out of water. I cannot develope enough of them. Droughtbusters.
