Ah, that's interesting about the water lettuce.....they do tend to propagate themselves at an incredible rate, so it's very sensible to make them illegal. Let's hope these ones don't escape! I agree about the water lillies being very badly behaved compared to the lotus.....a lot of my shots are just not presentable due to the grunge! Bah!!

Well you did a great job of framing the grunge out of this one...

There are a few species that survive winter just fine. We have them here in my area, but they're not as fancy as this one!

That's interesting because I thought they all liked warmth. Do you have any links on the ones that are ok there?

Here's a pic I took at the local pond, which I know to have year-round water lilies growing in it. [link] Also, here's a link that describes the habitat of an abundant perennial waterlily that grows all over the US and southern Canada: [link] I know there are others, but don't know what they're called.

Oh yes, that lovely photo of yours...one of my favourites from a while back. Thanks for the other link too....very interesting and might be useful for my sister because she gets heavy frost where she lives and we were wondering if there was a type that would survive that.

Hope your sister can plant a few of the hardier ones! They definitely come up year after year!

Totally 'as is' picture and the colour's accurate. Glad you like it and thanks so much for the favourite. 'Matty'? I'm sure I don't mind, but don't know what the reference is to
