There's nothing quite so indicative of summer as a pond dotted w/th the large and showy flowers of waterlilies. With the advent of spring this is the ideal time of the year to buy and plant these impressive flowers. There are scores of different varieties to choose from as there are outlets to purchase from, but I was well impressed by Wychwood Waterlilies in Hampshire run by Reg, Ann and Claire Henley. What they don't know about aquatic plants isn't worth knowing and their farm at 0diham also houses the largest collection (264) of hardy waterlilies in the world.
