Attraction's a real nice lily. I don't have it currently though.

Vickie - those are just gorgeous!! I love the blue lily - in Africa, the pools that the rhino go into to cool off in the heat of the day, are full of huge blue water lilies - lovely and kind of surreal!

Nice pond! I am jealous. I can only have a whiskey barrel pond here. Maybe I might be able to do a raised timber pond for water lilies if the landlord doesnt mind.
My lotus are still just floating pads because of the June Gloom, maybe aerials at the end of August lol.

Bob, attraction is a very common hardy vartiety and can easily be found in those pond plant boxes at many Lowes or Home Depot.

If you want a lotus to really bloom, fertilize the heck out of it. They take about twice as much fertilizer as a water lily to get really good blooms. Mine are just getting ready to bloom-large buds, but I haven't fertilized as much as usual.
