Water lilies in bloom


The water lilies have been blooming for a couple of weeks now. I've seen a yellow bloom in addition to the white ones seen here, but haven't seen the pink one yet. They do much better when I keep the cattails cleared out. Interestingly, algae ceases to be a problem once the water lilies emerge from dormancy.

The cattails and umbrella plant are supposed to stay confined to a container, but they keep escaping and if left to their own devices will totally take over the pond.
