I had grown this nicely in the first pond I made. When the second pond was made and had this in it along with the blue lily. The blue lily was the only one that put up grand shows for 4 years now almost every day. I had forgotten after one or two years about the pink lily. Now 3 days ago, I was surprised to see it in bloom!! I had removed the overgrown blue lily plant two months ago and left the smaller plants. What a pleasant surprise this is now. The blue ones are also maturing again. But this pink flower stays open for just 2-3 hours in the morning, unlike the blue which stays open till evening. The leaves are also darker in the pink variety.
