In among the lilies

We have had the lilies in the pond since it was moved to the patio area and they have never flowered - nice leaves though!
Once again they have started shooting leaves and once again the fish have started eating them!
So PJ removed the lillies and left them on the patio.
He put one in a bucket of water 'just in case' it was still alive, the other went into the 'chopper pond' .... yes! we have a downed chopper in that pond (just an ornament - don't ask.)
The bucket had lots of mosquitoes in it as standing water does after a while, I was concerned but ..... if I get bitten PJ will have to change the water!

The lily grew and now I see there is a bud on it .... interesting .....  come to think of it .... all the mosquitoes are gone ... must be good!

Sitting outside I look into the bucket to see how the bud is growing and  ......


LOOK!  a baby fish!!!!
