I got this hardy Water lily last year and it flowered a pretty pinky peach. But today while looking at the pond from the kitchen window, this bloom caught my eye: a two-toned bloom. Wow – I had to go grab my camera.

All it’s other flowers are a standard peachy pink like the one below:This is guy must have gone rogue somewhere. Not sure how, but I love it!

Other parts of the pond are doing well too.

Cannas are finally blooming after a late start this year.

The pond always looks so beautiful in the morning.

This shot is from the second floor balcony.

Here’s a short video of the pond with the soothing splashing sounds. We keep our windows open at night just to hear the splashing and the frogs of course.
