No problem, Howard. Trust me, you won't be thinking of it as "fragile" for much longer! Just wait until it gets established in it's pot. I'd start looking for a bigger pot now if I were you.

I used to have a large water garden (13'x7') at my house when I was in St. Louis with many plants in it. I also cared for a collection of hardy water lilies and hardy aquatiec while I was at the Missouri Botanical Garden. It was always one of my favorite gardens to tend. Water gardening can really be fun, especially when you get the full experience of plants, fish, frogs, dragonflys, water striders, etc. I even had a baby painted turtle in my pond for a while.
