05 Nov 2009My waterlily has flowered! 6 7 Water lily red Flowering and Water bowl gardenOvercast 19°C / 66°F
It is more a soft pink than a red, but I love this flower. Because of the cold weather, I haven’t been able to get one of these to flower before, so i am really happy with this one. Will have to wait and see if any of my other waterlilies flower.

This water iris has finally flowered. Unlike the other water irises, it has a beautiful dark purple-black flower stalk, and dark purple flowers. I hope this one continues to spread.

The blue flag iris is the first water plant to flower, but many of the others have buds on them, so it won’t be long till they flower as well. This year the blue flag iris seems to be more purple than blue.
