I have some purple ones and some pink ones, and I should have some white ones. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've seen those this year. I guess I'd better do a search for them. Things can get lost in the jungle around the pond.

The spider lilies are in a large water lily pot planted in sand. They are just sitting on a shelf in the pond. I have no idea how many there are now. I think I ordered 3 plants and received maybe 5. I put those in a smaller pot and stuck it in the pond. It didn't take long before they needed more sp...

I'm in 6b and the ones I had planted in the garden didn't make it through the cold. I have fig tress that I planted in th...

That sounds like the perfect spot for it.
