Water lilies are the jewels of the water garden. They constantly produce fragrant blooms from June through September (often into October) and are available in a wide array of spectacular colours.
Changeable water lilies usually open a peach / apricot colour the first day they bloom, then gradually darken and turn more orange/ red each day
Fish lice (Argulus sp.) are one of the few fish parasites visible with the naked eye. They are disc shaped and can grow over 1 cm in diameter!
A water lily flower typically only lasts for 3 days. After that, the stems usually begin to curl, pulling the flower down under water. Don’t worry, water lilies usually produce dozens of blooms throughout the summer, providing a beautiful display in your pond
