Mango4Jade Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Yep, I recieved my 6 Dwarf Water Lillies (Nymphaea Daubeniana) today from Queensland (EBAY) Arrived in the morning, but due to Tafe I left the package in my room until the afternoon. I went to bunnings to grab some pots so I can plant them. I planted them with a mixture of natual black gravel and aquaclay. The cool thing is that I placed them in the tank, and after 3hrs...already got 3 nice blue flowers! This is in my open top aquarium with my baby koi. Im so happy! Guess I dont have to put them outside in the pond anymore Anyways I took some photos to share with you. Hope you enjoy them. Full tank shot, I shouldnt purchase too big pots...not i got less room for my koi to swim Water Lily flower 1 Flower 2 More to come :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
