I am totally in love with the lilypads that Hana has growing around the house. This fountain is right outside the front door. It has lilly pads in it, and they flower. The flowers open and close every day, and at night, when they’re totally closed, they actually go underwater. This weekend I’ll try to get a good picture of one of the flowers during the day, when it’s totally open.
There are some more lilly pads in this container garden:
There aren’t any flowers in this one right now, but Hana just raised up the lilypads inside, because someone told her that they were too deep. We’ll see if they start flowering now. It’s under some big trees, so it doesn’t get a lot of light, which might be discouraging the plant from flowering.
And there are little orange fishes in both the fountain and the bath tub, so you don’t have to worry that we’re breeding mosquitoes. (I haven’t seen a mosquito since I got here, but they do have them.)
