Waterlilies or Lotus?

I thought the white flowers were all waterlilies.

'Perry's Baby Red' water Lily is putting on a show today. It's a great choice for smaller sized ponds.

Pond planting time.

Yesterday I planted a few White Ragged Robin, in a boggy area, and one Pickerel Weed in a deep basket.

I highly recommend Waterside Nursery for native, UK grown, pond and marginal plants. Their service and plant quality is just first class. Mail order only, no visitors, but they use a brilliant carrier for deliveries.

No relation, just a very satisfied user for many years.

I am trying to grow some Nuphar polysepala from seeds (my native species). Has anyone done this successfully? My plan so far is just to submerge them on aquatic soil all winter and hope for the best in the spring time. #gardening #pondplants #nativeplants #nuphar #nupharpolysepala #seeds #germination
Water Forget-me-not (Myosotis scorpioides) growing in the water at the edge of Lancaster Canal.

I called in the #Beaconsfield motorway services yesterday and went to the wildlife area. OK, it's a drainage balancing pond with some ducks, but they've done wonders with the vegetation around it, especially these Ox-eye Daisies. #PondPlants #WildflowerHour #Buckinghamshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography
The bright pink flowers of the Flowering Rush (Butomus umbellatus) really stood out from the mainly white and yellow flowers lining Lancaster Canal at the moment.

Conditions on the Glasson branch of Lancaster Canal very pond-like as currently closed to boat traffic. Found some Greater Spearwort (Ranunculus lingua) growing at the water's edge.

Pond plants (but not in a pond): water lilies in the Castle Mill Stream at the Oxford Canal basin
