I have always loved waterlilies and I could never have them in my home. In huge cities when you live in apartments this remains just a dream. Finally, I bought a house a couple of years ago although I have no space for a garden on the ground I have one on my terrace. At first I thought I could never have waterlilies, I learned that I could from the internet. Now I have these growing in huge plastic tubs which serve as lily ponds.
I also have a few guppies in my lily pond to keep it free from mosquitoes which are the bane of the tropics. I could be fined if I din’t spray the ponds and kept them free of mosquitoes. My choice always is to look for natural solutions to the problem and so the guppies which multiply by the hundreds.
These bloom almost everyday. They need very little in the way of maintenance. I only fertilize the plants once a month. These and the cacti are the easiest to grow in my garden.
It is the little things of life that bring a smile to my face everyday.

I love flowers and lillies are great. It is good to have plenty of them.
What a brilliant idea! This is so lovely! Thank you for sharing!
I am glad you like the idea Sharon. I am crazy about plants and will do anything to grow my favorites. ?
I love flowers. I have a lot in the garden.
You must have a beautiful Garden Vidocka. Space is a major constraint for me.
What a wonderful idea, I love waterlilies
Thank you Pamela, I love waterlilies too.
Wonderful flower waterlily, my friend….me do the little things happy
Thank you Lado, I guess you have loads of them in your country.
Your post is my timely reminder. This week, I’ve been contemplating about replenishing my old house’s gardens. I want it to be alive with bright African daisies, gazanias, nasturtiums, Pacific blues, fragrant roses, wild freshias, poppies, hollyhocks, veggies, struggling frafrant lilac, geraniums.
Sorry. I’m just reminiscing and planning.
Oh wow that sounds like a colorful, fragrant and amazing garden. Please post pictures here.
Somebody said: “little things that make life” and did not wrong.
That someone knew what life is 🙂
I’m a fan of flowers. I think the same for you. I do not have a photo of a water lily. She is very beautiful.
Thank you Lacho59 . She is beautiful indeed.
A beautiful bloom and I never see these often.
I love flowers too, but I love everything about gardening.
Hope for the best ………..
The best is here.. 🙂
I am hoping it warms up soon. The grass is barely greening up.
I wish I could send some sunshine your way!!
