Mine isn't flowering yet. Wonder whether that has something to do with the unfortunate fact that there's not toooooo much water in the pond.

As they are a marginal they only need damp roots to flourish so maybe their roots aren't deep enough in lake Placido :)

Although it is not strictly a water dependent flower the Purple Loosestrife likes to have it's toes in the water. Mine is at it's very best right now.

Claude Monet reckoned he could paint them but not as good as I can photo them

During last years relining of the nature pond I took the opportunity to cut back the water lily that resides in it. It was a severe trim and I did wonder whether I'd over done it as it took ages to produce any leaves(a.k.a. lily pads) but it has picked up and this weekend has rewarded me with 4 flowers. :)
